Carol Prusa’s three-dimensional, dome-shaped drawings simultaneously evoke vastness and intricacy, creating a zone of experience in which the language of physicists and mathematicians might describe the mystical. Employing a range of media that spans centuries, from silverpoint to fiber optics, Prusa conjures the ever-shifting boundaries between the finite and the immeasurable, the ordered and the chaotic.
Carol Prusa is represented by Bernice Steinbaum Gallery, Miami, Jennifer Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver, Jenkins Johnson Gallery, San Francisco and New York City, and Tinny Contemporary, Nashville. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across the country, and is in the permanent collections of many institutions, including the Miami Art Museum, Museum of Art – Ft. Lauderdale, Arkansas Arts Center, Daum Museum of Contemporary Art and Telfair Art Museum. She has been the recipient of fellowships from the South Florida Cultural Consortium (2008), the State of Florida (2008), and the Howard Foundation (through Brown University, 2007). Prusa was born and raised on the south side of Chicago. She lives and works in Florida.
