“My formal language is a way of reconnecting with the culture and the places where my ancestral lines are rooted,” Maddux explains.
Her works draw the gaze not only to matte color, silhouettes, and sweeping lines, but also to the inner layers of the draped textile. The folds conceal as much as they reveal, transforming the act of seeing into an exploration that questions how we encounter art and what eludes our view.
