Michele Brody, Drawing Roots: Free Falling, Handmade Paper with Flax Roots

2016

About the Item

Michele Brody, Drawing Roots: Free Fallling, Handmade Paper with Flax Roots, 18"h x 15"w x 1"d, 2017 The essence of Michele Brody’s work thrives on the interaction with new communities and place-making. Once there, she explores what it means to establish roots within an unfamiliar environment by being present within a place to affect change. With each new location Brody conducts a careful investigative method that involves the gathering of regional materials, native plants, local stories, historic references and architectural imagery. This unique approach to social practice creates site-generated works of art that illuminate the unobserved in day to day surroundings and the challenges facing the environment. Through the process of utilizing such natural media as handmade paper, plants and tea, the materiality of her work explores the history of production behind these material choices as a nuanced understanding of environmental flux due to entropy and human-made climate crises. Building from this unpredictable foundation, Brody invites community interaction, evoking a visceral social encounter within a shared space that comments on the tenuous relationship between nature and humans within the built environment. Michele Brody is a New York City based, mixed-media environmental artist with an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Fiber and Material Studies Department. She has received a grant or residency almost every year since 1995 from the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, LMCC, Pollock/Krasner Foundation, NYFA, Bronx Council on the Arts, NYSCA, Skowhegan, Wave Hill and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation. In 2006 Brody completed two public art works in The Bronx for the MTA and DOE. In 2011 the artist was awarded the Best 3-D Entry at the international Art Prize competition in Grand Rapids, MI. Michele Brody exhibits her artwork widely and has been included in exhibitions at ODETTA and online with ODETTA Digital.

I hope that they experience a sense of what I feel...These feelings and emotions can’t be expressed in words, as it’s on such a deeper level."– John Fitzgerald: Anthology (2023) Born in Co. Meath in 1976, John Fitzgerald is now established as one of Irelands leading Equine, Sporting and Portrait Artists. Originally John studied Industrial Design in Letterkennny RTC & at the University of Wales, Swansea. It was while in college that he developed a strong understanding of drawing and design, and the different techniques used in completing a piece from initial concept sketches, to oberservation, to 3 dimensional form. In 2013 John was asked to be the artist in residence by the Curragh Racecourse where he now has his own studio/gallery, which is open to the public on race days. 2014 saw Johns work reach a huge audience at the Cheltenham festival, where he was filmed by Channel 4 racing while completing a range of works including A.P.Mc Coys portrait, and a set of sketches...
