Carol Bove — brass, stone, illustrator board, tape and bandage
Carol Bove

brass, stone, illustrator board, tape and bandage

Carol Bove's assemblage brings together a deliberately eclectic range of materials—brass, stone, illustrator board, tape, and bandage—creating a tension between the industrial and the fragile, the rigid and the yielding. The work reflects Bove's characteristic interest in found and repurposed objects, allowing each element to retain its own identity while contributing to a larger, suggestive composition. The pairing of utilitarian and medicinal materials hints at themes of repair, constraint, and the quiet poetry embedded in everyday objects.
