Elizabeth
Duffy transforms everyday materials that are easily
overlooked or discarded. Envelopes from Chase Manhattan
Bank are turned inside out for the drawing Power Trips,
Unilateralism and Strategies. A simple palate of colored
pencil, doodle-like drawings ranges off the paper and
onto the wall. She pushes materials we discard back
into our view. From lint supplied by a uniform laundry
service, Duffy has created a series of fuzzy balls that
attract and repel. The compulsive aspect to the repetitive
processes she devises to create these works come from
a place of quiet or calm and relates to domestic work
or craft.
Duffy’s work has been included in many exhibits
including Take Out at Dieu Donné Paper Mill,
Cheap at White Columns, in New York, NY and Snapshot
at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield,
CT and the Contemporary Art Museum, Baltimore, MD. She
has received fellowships from the MacDowell Colony,
the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Pollock
Krasner Foundation. |
