MARGARET BOOZER : DIRT DRAWINGS

Jun 27 – August 16, 2009
Artist’s talk, July 25, 2:00pm
@
AU Museum at the Katzen
4400 Massachusetts Ave

Free and open to the public.

In these installations of unfired local clays, Boozer's graphic compositions of color, pattern and texture create small geologic events, manifestations of cause and effect celebrating clay's physical properties. Colors change, shapes warp, cracks emerge as counterpoint to the artist's hand in these fragile and mutable works that cross genres between painting and sculpture, abstraction and representation.

MARGARET BOOZER / Artist Talk at Project 4

Accumulation
Artist talk: Saturday, January 10, 2:00 pm
Washington DC based sculptor Margaret Boozer

Margaret Boozer approaches ceramics with an eye for painting and a mind for experimentation. She encourages clay’s physical properties to express themselves in unpredictable manifestations of cause and effect. Drying, warping, cracking- small studio processes echo large geologic events as clay reclaims its origin as earth. Boozer disguises her hand underneath clay’s distortions, then claims authorship with carefully orchestrated compositions driven by the randomness of the result. The work is unexpectedly recognizable as a variety of subject matter that crosses genres between representation and abstraction, painting and sculpture
