Debra Broz: Creature Comfort now on view at Track 16 Gallery through January 15, 2022 Artist Talk: January 12, 7 pm
Debra Broz’s new installation Creature Comfort features reconstructed ceramic figurines and found-object sculpture. For the past year, Broz has been collecting, compiling and altering discarded furniture, unloved stuffed animals, and unwanted ceramic tchotchkes to create an abnormal world where misfits are held in high regard and ordinary, disregarded things become curiosities with confused and mysterious origins. With humor and tenderness, Broz twists the world of consumer trash and turns it into an uncanny place that speaks to the psychology of object attachment, science fiction, kitsch, and the malleability of identity and truth.
