Chase DeForest MFA 04 FD will take us on a tour of her studio at Pyramid Atlantic in Hyattesville, MD. Much of her creative background has been in commissioned-based work for private clients, first though custom furniture, then through bespoke cowboy boots. Because of DeForest’s contact with leather, she began working on two dimensional images, seeing it as a malleable, forgiving, versatile medium, ripe with potential. The potency of the relationship of this bovine to the American economy, diet and landscape has shown no shortage of areas to explore. Being from the West, these areas are of personal interest; DeForest is compelled by their broader significance as well. Check out some of her work in advance.
