Frances Dinkelspiel reviews the current exhibition by Nancy Mintz at Berkeleyside.
In her new show at the Traywick Contemporary Gallery, Berkeley artist Nancy Mintz explores the precarious nature of motherhood. Using themes of an egg, a house, a ladder and the moon, Mintz, the mother of two school-age children, explores all the anxieties that come with having children. How does one protect a new life? How does one care and sustain others? What is the line between maternal protection/overprotection? What is a good parent? What hopes and dreams do we have for our children?
By combining fragile and durable materials, Mintz comments on the solid bonds that bind a mother and child and the vulnerability of those bonds.
DeWitt Cheng reviewed the current exhibitions by Dharma Strasser MacColl and Nancy Mintz in the East Bay Express.
On Dharma Strasser MacColl, Cheng writes:
Combining a subdued palette and a refined nature-focused lyricism suggesting Asian art, introspective yet expansive micro/macrocosmic works like "Every Dark Thing," "Two Clearings," "Three Webs," and "Double Blast" convene competing metaphors — cobblestones, scales, flowers, starry skies, craters, cairns, vegetation, anemones, coral atolls, and maybe scattershot gun-range targets — while paradoxically asserting their origins in method and material.
And on Nancy Mintz, Cheng writes:
Mintz's sculptures in steel, ceramic, wood, and glass in her show Mother May I turn iconic shapes — egg, house, moon, ladder, and keyhole — to explore psychology and perception. If that list of motifs sounded Magrittean, it is; Mintz shares with that skeptical, ironic Surrealist a love of impossible logic, perfectly stated.
We're pleased to announce the publication of Dharma Strasser MacColl: Emanate, the catalog accompanying the current exhibition at Traywick Contemporary. The catalog features an essay by Jordan Geiger, Assistant Professor of Architecture at SUNY Buffalo, and Miriam Paeslack, Assistant Professor of Visual Studies at SUNY Buffalo.
The book is available for $20.00, plus $5.00 for shipping and handling.
We are pleased to announce the opening of two new shows by Bay Area artists Dharma Strasser MacColl and Nancy Mintz.
Kimberly Lovato covers the current exhibitions from Nancy Mintz and Dharma Strasser MacColl in Haute Living:
This is Mintz’s first time at Traywick Contemporary. Entitled “Mother May I,” the exhibit highlights exceptional and thought provoking sculptures in wood, clay and metal.
Strasser MacColl’s “Emanante” features the artist’s recent work on paper. MacColl is known for her delicate and intricate combinations of porcelain, silk thread, and watercolor on paper that create both peaceful and powerful works of art.
