Washington, DC, artist Kendall Buster creates monumental sculptures whose
sleek forms suggest natural things such as enormous seeds or pods. Her precisely
articulated forms also suggest probing and receiving - exterior parts and
interior spaces. With undergraduate degrees in microbiology and art, and
an M.F.A. in sculpture from Yale, Buster combines a naturalist's desires
with a minimalist's aesthetic. The resulting large-scale sculptures represent,
in her words, the "demarcation of empty space, a site of germination
where an event has happened or is about to occur." Buster created new
sculptures for this exhibition in half of the main gallery, and was an artist
in residence at the Kemper Museum. |
