QR Code Link to This Post
Debra Chase's artworks are based on traditional garment silhouettes, like the kimono, and incorporate woven aluminum, bronze, and copper screening with other plastic, metal, paper elements and glass beads. Chase began to explore the kimono form after viewing an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in March 1981 which featured Manchu dynasty robes. Chase saw her wire mesh works to be visual metaphors for rites of passage, celebrations, and various social states.
Debra Chase received a BS in studio art in 1977 from Nazareth College, Rochester, and an MFA from the School for American Craftsmen, Rochester Institute of Technology, in 1982. Her sculpture has been exhibited at the American Craft Museum, New York, the Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo, and the Renwick Gallery, National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.
