About: Artist Nancy Kubale-Wicker

BFA, Minneapolis College of Art and Design, MN
Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City, NY

Nancy hand builds her mixed media sculptures in stoneware clay. Using a variety of finishes, including underglaze, latex and prismacolor, she assembles her figures with both found and sculpted objects

" In a body of work there is a common thread of expression and exploration that binds it together. My sculptures question cultural norms and address moments of clarity and understanding, concepts of intent and purpose: the pursuit of truth. Within the figure there is the visual image and the deeper meaning. The use of metaphors such as windows, wings or ladders express ambiguity, determination and aspiration. I am intrigued by what we think, do and say, by who we are and how we live-primarily at the soul level."
