ABOUT THE ARTIST: Rooted in Post-minimalism, Ferrara's work establishes a counterpoint between real and illusory space. The artist, in her own words, is a "place maker," composing her structures with precision and reticulating proportions, following a system of carefully calibrated, mathematical sequences. Although her work is structurally rigorous, its power lies in its simplicity. As art critic Kate Linker wrote in an essay for her exhibition at the gallery in 1998: "Ferrara works with a spare syntax of forms and materials, a vocabulary of wood, granite, concrete, slate, and ceramic tiles arranged in modular sequences that belong to the creative legacy of Minimalism….Ferrara can be seen as both an addict to order and a compulsive iconoclast." . First Edition. Stapled Softcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 9" x 10". Exhibition Catalog. American Sculpture.
