Michelle Stuart

Michelle Stuart (American, b. 1933).

Since the 1970s, Michelle Stuart has been internationally recognized for innovative works that synthesize Land Art, drawing and sculpture. Stuart's original approach to material and process has seen her create large-scale site-specific works in the landscape, sculptural installations incorporating objects, drawings and audio-visual elements, as well as photographs, drawings and sculptures that bring the material of landscape – earth and rock – into the gallery. Photography, which has been present in her work both literally and conceptually since that time, has been her primary medium since 2009. In her recent work, Stuart uses the vast archive of analog and digital photographs that she has taken and collected for almost half a century, activating their aesthetic potential by recontextualizing them in groups, and often altering them to weave personal stories. These dreamlike recollections of her past not only continue her lifelong artistic engagement with specific locations but affirm the significance of place as a unique source of memory.
