About the Art
What the artist saysI'm inspired by everyday events. I find comfort in sharing meals with those I love and there's nothing more beautifully messy than the aftermath of a delicious dinner. The shapes had to be celebrated and preserved.
Why we like itGrace’s prints somehow maintain a texture and three-dimensionality, inviting the viewer to her layered dinner table.
Where we hang itThe obvious home for Grace’s “After Dinner” series would be in the kitchen, an space often overlooked when hanging art.
About the Artist
Grace Mox
Whether her images are created from observation, photographs, memories, or emotions, Grace enjoys making designs that show off the strengths of the material she chooses. The meaning is embedded in the clear shapes cut out of a pine block in a woodcut print, the simplified colors of a landscape scene remembered in the mind’s eye in paint, and the flow of the continuous lines in a monotype that suggest many subjects but don’t resemble any singular one.As someone deeply excited by the limitless mediums possible in art, Grace Mox explores painting, printmaking, drawing, collage, and animation to name a few. She currently lives and works in Philadelphia.
“In the process of creation, we learn to understand that every aspect of the artwork is important, that every shape is important. We become more sensitive to every shape’s unique role in the context of the story we’re building.”
