Artist Reviews:
The result of intense labor
and an innovative eye,
Monblatt’s work is an expert
fusion of materials that
resemble a kind of mysterious
ancient artifact.
Called "modern cave paintings"
by her admirers, Monblatt’s
pieces possess an exciting
tension between formal design
elements and the primitive
qualities she utilizes ...

Artist Statement
For me, it is impossible to separate the materials I choose from the composition itself. Translating a two dimensional object into a three dimensional archive of shape and form, I take my cue from ancient cave paintings and paleontology where surface and depth merge with nature's own aesthetic. Acknowledging the paradox of durability and ceaseless change embodied in nature itself, I hope to create a visual landscape where color and texture respond almost organically to shape and form. Using contemporary materials to invoke the past, time itself emerges as a formal and conceptual preoccupation of the work.
After many years of experimentation with materials, I have formulated an aggregate compound that is both durable and lightweight. Although an extremely labor-intensive process, I now work exclusively with these compounds on various types of panels, constructing wall reliefs or wall sculptures. The surface of each work produces a position dependent shifting field of shadow, light and perspective within the balanced structure. In my translations of natural processes, I hope to communicate an uncluttered and meditative space in which to refuse the easy distinction between past and present, art and artifact.
