Mary Neubauer creates prints, sculptures and interactive artworks addressing metro and geophysical phenomena. Her digital production is combined with traditional fabrication and casting methods to dimensionalize contemporary environmental, civic, and scientific data. Mary has a deep interest in the rhythms and cycles of nature as well as contemporary urban systems, and has completed many projects visualizing municipal and geophysical input. For this exhibition, she presents works from a series of data-driven small-scale sculptures in cast iron and bronze. These artworks were developed from 3D prints and used computer coding to drive the textures and surfaces. They all have a natural beauty and clarity that express hidden and long-term aspects of our environment.
She has shown her sculpture and prints nationally and internationally, and was a visiting artist at the American Academy in Rome, a Fulbright Fellow (Cambridge, UK), and a Ford Fellow. She has completed numerous public artworks in the western states, including collaborative environments utilizing interactive light and sound. Mary is a President’s Professor at Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. Mary serves on the Board of Directors for the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix and also for the Digital Stone Project, based in Tuscany, Italy, and has participated in the Digital Stone Project for the past ten years. Recent interesting art endeavors include two Arctic Circle remote-site expeditionary residencies, service as a visiting artist at the Anderson Ranch Center for the Arts, the Tyrone Guthrie Center in Ireland, and the John Michael Kohler Arts and Industry program.
