Bearded Iris

Inspired by the visual seduction of the industrial sublime, Anne Libby’s work creates unexpected new forms by repositioning the signs and symbols of contemporary corporate production. Libby’s process begins as a dissection - skyscrapers, glass curtain walls, circuit boards, domestic ready-mades - layers peeled away and reformed, casts ossified into permanent suspension. The effect is an ethereal reformation of defaults in favor of beauty, craft and aesthetic inflection.
