Debra Broz began her love affair with unusual things while growing up in rural central Missouri.

Broz received her BFA from Maryville University - St. Louis in 2003. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Austin, Texas where she trained as a ceramics restorer, learning the techniques that would become the basis for much of her future artwork.

Debra Broz collects and deconstructs unwanted ceramic figurines, stuffed animals, and furniture, then combines them into reimagined versions of their former selves. She searches curbside discards, thrift stores, and online resale sites for things that were once valued, but have since become unloved. Through a lens of uncanny humor, she considers identity, consumerism, sentimentality, and the process of losing and regaining attention and love. Broz grew up in rural Missouri with a family collection of ceramic animals mostly made from mass-produced molds and hand-painted by her grandmother. She became a collector herself, accumulating miniature figurines and various small curiosities. In 2003 she received her BFA in Studio Art from Maryville University - St. Louis. In 2005 she moved to Austin, Texas where she serendipitously found a job working as an apprentice ceramics restorer. This was a breakthrough in her art practice, revealing the techniques that allowed her to begin altering ceramics. She began accumulating animal figurines from thrift stores, showing her first collection of ceramic reconstructions in 2009. Broz was very involved in the Austin art community. She managed an art studio and gallery, co-edited an art magazine, and started her own ceramics restoration business. In 2014, Broz moved to Los Angeles where she continues her art practice and her work in ceramics restoration. Broz exhibits with Track 16 Gallery in Los Angeles, Paradigm Gallery in Philadelphia, and has had exhibits at the American Museum of Ceramic Art, Austin Museum of Art, and Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. Her work has been featured in print in Ceramics Monthly, American Craft, and Frankie magazines; and in two international surveys of contemporary ceramics. She is also involved with two artist-run spaces, Monte Vista Projects and Gallery Also.

- Chew Toys 2Located in Montreal, QuebecIn his recent works sculptor Nicholas Crombach uses the markers of tradition to critique social rituals. Through the employment of the mythology and the rich visual culture of the hunt, Crombach assembles works which revel in contradiction. He has created a series of unexpected juxtapositions that examine the cultural significance and the complex issues percolating around hunting and sporting traditions in the 21st century. For this exhibition, Crombach riffs off the myth of Diana and Actaeon, which provides a poignant framework for his theme. In the original story, Actaeon, the hunter and grandson of King Cadmus, is in the forest with his dogs, when he spies Artemis (Diana) in her bath attended by her nymphs. Diana was the goddess of the hunt, but when the mortal Actaeon sees her, her nymphs try to cover her modesty. She splashes him with water, turning him from a mortal man into a stag, who flees into the forest only to be hunted down and killed by his own dogs. The hunter becomes the hunted. Crombach’s Fetch (2018) refers to the mythology of Diana and Actaeon as he transforms the lofty and classical story of metamorphoses into a game of fetch in the local park, constructed on a grand scale. In Fetch (2018), Crombach creates a hybrid between the art historical imagery from paintings of hounds hunting stags with the flashy colours and synthetic materials of modern day dog chew toys. The sculpture is displayed alongside a variety of chew toys that act as an index for the sculptures interpretation, some transformed into porcelain that has been marked with the aristocratic hunting motifs found on antique English pottery. Here, the assembly of works create a conversation on the blurred boundaries between: histories of domestication, the working relationships we have with animals, contemporary issues of hunting as “play”, tradition and survival. A second major new sculpture “End of the Chase” is a collapsed version of a Victorian period rocking horse housed in London’s V&A Museum Of Childhood. The sculpture responds to the 2014 hunting act that passed in Britain which in turn attempts to obliterate the tradition of hunting with hounds, most commonly associated with the fox hunt...Category
