Born in Chicago, raised
and educated in Los Angeles and Pasadena with a year of post grad
study in Tokyo, Japan, and residing in New York City in the early
70’s,
Nengudi has lived in Colorado for the past twelve years.
Interested in the visual arts, dance, body mechanics and matters of the spirit from an early age these elements still play themselves out in ever changing ways in her art. She has always used a variety of natural (sand, dirt, rocks, seed pods) and unconventional (panty hose, found objects, masking tape) materials to fashion her works, utilizing these materials as a jazz musician utilizes notes and sounds to improvise a composition. The thrust of her art is to share common experiences in abstractions that hit the senses and center, often welcoming the viewer to become a participant. |
