Digital Exhibition: Stacy Bogdonoff
Stacy Bogdonoff is an Upper West Side artist working with mixed media to explore themes of shelter and home. We are happy to present her exhibition "Virtual Stairway Retrospective." This series uses fiber, vintage textiles, digital printing, paper, wire, paint, and natural dyes. Bogdonoff moves between small intimate work, sewing with single strands of silk, to wire sculptures and wall reliefs which require industrial pliers and steel cutters to construct.
She says, “I have seen how fragile family and home can be. Deep roots can be torn up and firm foundations cracked and broken. We are born into a family and its members pass away; we build a plumb house and yet it shifts. COVID-19 and sheltering in place has made us reconsider our homes, workplaces, cities, communities, and those who live with us. My work is very process oriented and the meditative repetition gives me the quiet and space to understand our times.”
