SIGNE STUART PRESS CLIPS Santa Fe Reporter, Arts and Culture June 18-24, 2008 "Signe Stuart likes to play at work. Her explorations of paper art leads to organic vibrant pieces that seem more discovered than created. Multilayered and rhythmically complex, Stuart's art draws greatly from her critical understanding of color to crystallize the potency of her work. The result: statements that invite the observer to consider new relationships between natural elements and discover the elusive patterns that already exist in nature." ---Josiah Stephens, writer for the Santa Fe Reporter Patient Process, 2001 "Trusting Intuition" (catalog) "(Stuart's) real enterprise seems a process of exploration that is not easily made verbal, a way she says, of offering a meta language that uncovers the nature of material. Thus she moves through a long-practiced process, step by step, to approach intuited conclusions about how the world is." ---Donald Doe, Curator for Patient Process exhibition, Faulconer Gallery, Grinnell College The Magazine, June 1998, “Solo Exhibition: Signe Stuart" "She's got the balance right between integrity of form and passionate expression." ---Christine Hemp, writer for The Magazine Signe Stuart: Retrospective 1995 (catalog) "(Stuart's) journey has been one from a commitment to rigorous geometrical abstraction, from a largely intellectual imposition onto the world, to something more emotive, something more tinged with her experiences and ruminations. Over the last thirty years she has loosened the grid and abraded the line and in doing so she has opened up her consciousness to the mystery of the forces that surround her and surround us as well." ---James Yood, critic for Artforum and the New Art Examiner Signe Stuart 1989 (catalog) "Cervantes believed that there is neither center nor circumference with the universe. Signe stuart's work, in both execution and content, suggests that Cervantes was right. Hers is a work of connections." ---Laurel Reuter, Director North Dakota Museum of Art |
