- Leaf Storm: Joy Nagy


Artist Joy Nagy will tell you it can happen anytime, if you are open to the beauty and drama that abounds along the roadside.
Since she started to create burdock portraits and studies, Nagy's understanding and reasons for making art about the plant has grown into larger ideas and comparisons of micro and macro forms.
Nagy has created burdock pieces using countless mediums and processes, including; graphite, gouache, silver point, collegraph prints, (real) leaf installations, silver plated leaves, and cubes made with the notorious sock-loving burrs.
This exhibit will run from October 10, 2008-February 8, 2009
