Pat Boas is an artist who has intrigued me for a number of years. The artist makes work
that explores and examines language in context— letter by letter, word by word, image
by image. I have long been drawn to the elegance of her ideas and their expression.
The Art Gym exhibition Pat Boas — Record Record includes four series that comment in
very quiet ways on the text and images in The New York Times and a new series of digital
works What Our Homes Can Tell Us that captures language found in the artist’s home and
places of importance to her extended family.
