MARIETTA HOFERER: OFF THE GRID
August 1 - 30, 2008
Hoferer creates dazzling hybrid forms that are rooted in elements of drawing, collage, craft and the all-encompassing mixed-media. The resulting, unframed works present rich layers of pattern and light that inspire through their craftsmanship and subtle beauty. One reviewer from the Boston Globe offered his observation of Hoferer's work stating, "(They) could be lace doilies, or enlarged snowflakes -- no one like another. . . Sometimes it splatters over a design, as bright as sun on water, but in crystalline patterns. Sometimes it looks like white gold; sometimes it's a shadowy taupe." Hoferer's work can be found in the permanent collections of the Arkansas Arts Center, Little Rock; the Bellagio Collection, Las Vegas; the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Harvard Art Museums; and Werner Kramarsky, New York.
