"A Place Called Home" Through February 10 Prescott College Art Gallery at Sam Hill Warehouse Featuring the collaborative sculptural works of Prescott based artists, Roger Asay and Rebecca Davis.
Asay and Davis have partnered since 1983 as collaborative artists creating sculptures and installations from natural materials. These minimalist works focus on the organic richness of the material itself.
Though both artists had been enjoying individual success, the shift toward the creation of a unique body of collaborative installation works, created by paring down found natural material to its essence, proved very powerful.
This new body of work has been shown in solo exhibitions at the Coconino Center for the Arts, University of Arizona Art Museum, the Scottsdale Art Museum, Tucson Museum of Art, the Roswell Art Museum, Tempe Art Center, Mesa Contemporary Arts and others. Group exhibitions include such venues as the Phoenix Art Museum, Austin Museum of Art, and SOFA NY and SOFA Chicago.
Their work is found in numerous private and public collections. The work of Asay and Davis carries a recognizably distinct character built from a long and rich relationship between the two artists and between the artists and the landscapes they explore. |
