Affiliated Artist    joy Broom   In her first show at the Linda Hodges Gallery, Joy Broom's exhibition of small scale visual meditations entitled The Italian Sketchbook Series are magical objects created with a private language to address universal concerns. Using maps, souvenirs and Renaissance Art Reproductions collected on a recent trip to Italy as a background, Broom then draws images inspired from nature, body parts, animal forms and energy flow that also relate to Broom's recurring themes of duality and spirituality. Her final layering process concerns coating the individual pages with natural bee's wax to protect and objectify them.
