About the Item
Art history has always been a source of inspiration. Since 2010 she has been specifically interested in investigating Tibetan Tangkas. Visiting key collections nearby at the Newark Museum, the Metropolitan Museum and the Rubin Museum repeatedly studying their structure and content.
Pat Lay has used computer data and computer parts as source material in her art since 2004. As she started dismantling computers she discovered a beautiful interior world of colorful anodized aluminum cooling elements, colorful wires, the beautifully designed hard drive, the minimal geometry of the processor, but most exciting was the motherboard. Lay scanned the circuit board, cropped out small square sections, printed them, collaged them into larger, tiled structures. The logic of aesthetics.
The most recent iterations, since 2014, are collaged scrolls. Digital images scanned from computer circuit boards are printed on Japanese kozo paper and collaged into patterns that transform them into a new matrix. Her goal is to bring the beauty and power of the Tibetan Tangka to a contemporary art object. These new tangkas are not religious or political. They retain the spirit of the Tibetan Tangka but are a reflection of contemporary culture.
Pat Lay has received two grants in sculpture from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and a grant from the American-Scandinavian Foundation. She has been awarded three public art commissions including the installation of a large-scale site-specific sculpture in the sculpture park at the Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter in Oslo, Norway.
She has had solo exhibitions at the Aljira, A Center for Contemporary Art; Jersey City Museum; New Jersey State Museum; and Douglass College, Rutgers University. Work has been included in group exhibitions in Japan, Austria, Korea, China, Norway, Wales, Slovakia, across the United States and at the Jersey City Museum, Newark Museum, New Jersey State Museum, The Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, Montclair Art Museum, The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Everson Museum, and the 1975 Biennial Exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Lay's work is featured in a number of books including Lives and Works, Talks With Women Artists, Volume II by J. Arbeiter, B. Smith, S. Swenson.

- Nancy Baker, Fewer Answers, 2017, paper, acrylic, digital pigment printBy Nancy BakerLocated in Darien, CTIn Baker’s work, there is solace in the geometry of fundamentals, and a practice that focuses on the ephemeral nature of paper and the ease of its transportability, which allows her to create large-scale constructions. A desire for definitive certainties and incontrovertible truths in an era of “alternative facts”, precipitate the need for Baker to assert her clarification of evidence.

- Nancy Baker, Pink Golden Section, 2017, paper, acrylic paintBy Nancy BakerLocated in Darien, CTIn Baker’s work, there is solace in the geometry of fundamentals, and a practice that focuses on the ephemeral nature of paper and the ease of its transportability, which allows her to create large-scale constructions. A desire for definitive certainties and incontrovertible truths in an era of “alternative facts”, precipitate the need for Baker to assert her clarification of evidence. A new major installation has been created for her exhibition at ODETTA that layers baroque design elements found in paper cup carrying trays with anxiety-provoking phrases, rendered as gorgeous, yet fragile paper spheres. This collapsible, frantic universe parallels the global climate created by our current administration. Nancy Baker is compelled to put things together; underscoring the process of combining and interlocking forms in elegant configurations, she interweaves mathematical data in her constructions that speak to her need for stasis and a reliable reality. The recently new experience of living once again in an urban environment has made her sensitized to the dominating forces of infrastructure, and to those corresponding interstitial spaces that, arouse wonder and anxiety. The competition for space and sky has been instructive; her work reflects this struggle by recreating the battlefield in the studio, and attempting to tame it, and ultimately, to own it. For the exhibit, No Regrets, Baker seizes upon current political anxiety that informs her series of works which employ text from the US Constitution, in addition to mathematical constructs such as Pi, and the Golden Section...Category
