“Dirt Paintings” by Margaret Boozer

margaret boozer

Today’s artwork is a ceramic exploration in texture and pattern by artist Margaret Boozer.  Margaret Boozer calls many of her works, dirt paintings. In some of Margaret Boozer’s installations she covers areas of flooring in pools of unfired clay. These areas will begin cracking over time, revealing rich textures and colors underneath.
