Carol Bove is known for her simple yet intricate
assemblages of found and made objects. Carefully arranged on pedestals,
elevated platforms, or directly against walls and ceilings, these yield
unexpected, poetic, and multi-layered meanings, which seem to derive
from the composition of the objects rather than the inherent substance
of the individual components. Using a wide range of materials, including
books, driftwood, peacock feathers, metal, concrete, foam, and loans
from other artists, Bove’s works are subtle assemblages resisting
categorization despite their determined relationships with Modernist
display methods.
