places that she has experienced in person and works from multiple photographs to create a complex composite image whose geometric edges draw attention to the touch of the artist and reference the immersive sometimes overwhelming experience of being in these particular environments. The paintings on view at Babson are an expansion of her series exploring people’s interaction with art and architecture in museums. Clancy has used her finely tuned sense of color and form to re-frame spaces within the Guggenheim, MOMA, Tate, and Mass MOCA, to make paintings that speak to the intensity and alteration of memory. In “Points of View” she has made a new series of shaped paintings based on Anish Kapoor’s sculpture Cloud Gate and the Renzo Piano addition to the Art Institute of Chicago. Taking her geometric perspective explorations into three dimensions through the use of architectural model board as a painting surface allows Clancy to create intimate sculptural paintings whose lines, shapes, and silver surfaces change as the viewer moves. Dana Clancy is a painter and assistant professor at Boston University's School of Visual Arts. She received a BA in English Literature from Vassar College and an MFA in Painting from Boston University.
