Almond Zigmund creates installations with non utilitarian, non representational objects which bring together the disciplines of painting, sculpture, and design as they all relate and respond to architecture. Her work is a series of reactions to space, a kind of mark making which interjects a counter rhythm to existing structure. She uses pattern and color to create illusionistic and metaphoric spaces, employing various means and materials often abstracted from domestic and commercial settings. She also makes two-dimensional works which contextualize the installations / objects in hypothetical environments: a flat space of abstract designs, an interior with a distorted perspective, a landscape with no horizon: spaces defined by pattern, color and light.
Thematically, Zigmund is concerned with the ways in which economic, political, and artistic concepts of space and place are manifest and perceived, stressing the metaphoric significance of the object/art object as an instructive device for understanding the use of a space. She believes that form and the role it plays in culture is essential and continuous, creating an alphabet of physical language and a cumulative understanding of place.

Zigmund is a graduate of the M.F.A. program at Unitversity of Nevada at Las Vegas. Since graduating, she has participated in a number of exhibitions. She was invited to exhibit her sculpture “Six Pink Sides” in Pier Walk an annual exhibition of outdoor sculpture at the Chicago Navy Pier by curator David Pagel. Her work has been exhibited at the Rebecca Ibel Gallery in Columbus, OH, The Drawing Room in East Hampton, NY, Susanne Vielmetter and Arena 1 in Los Angeles, Kravets / Wehby Gallery, in New York, as well as Galerie Amtshimmel in Baden, Switzerland.
