Wall work is a program at the galleries where we invite an artist to create a semester long, site-specific work in the Plaza Gallery. Atlanta-based artist, Madora Frey’s Available Light explores the artist’s romantic regard for both the natural and built environment in her search for the sublime. She employs colored gels and various reflecting materials to create an environment that destabilizes the corporeal world into gradations of light and shadow. Frey examines the dynamic properties of light like reflection, refraction, and color to subtly shift the viewer’s experience toward a sense of wonderment viewed through the lens of the mythical and the feminine.
MaDora Frey, originally from Georgia, employs a diverse artistic practice to explore her romantic regard for both the natural and built environment and her search for the sublime. Frey’s work takes the form of temporary installations created outdoors, of which only a photograph remains, large-scale public works, and studio works. Her notable commissions include large-scale outdoor public works created for the Katonah Museum of Art, Dashboard US at Woodruff Park, and Perennial Projects. Frey’s recent exhibitions include solo and two-person shows at Massey Klein Gallery, NY, Georgia State University Welch Gallery and Camayuhs Gallery, Atlanta GA. She received her MFA in painting, magna cum laude, from the New York Academy of Art and her BFA, with a concentration in drawing and printmaking, from Auburn University. Additionally, Frey studied at the Florence Academy, Florence, Italy. Her work is held in numerous private collections.
