Stacy Howe, MFA ’10

Using extremes of beauty, horror, and bureaucracy Stacy Howe make these themes compatible if not interchangeable. She relishes in rendering objects of material excess and polite society while tracing their links to barbarism and how we socially construct nature through etiquette.

Howe’s recent encroachment into sculpture is addressing our connection with the dead through objects of personal significance. She strives to reanimate life embedded within objects while addressing the terrain of spiritual research metaphysical and parapsychological. By making a physical event, although representational, she extends what was the reading of a drawing to the act of bearing witness.
