Flavia D’Urso Art Show
to reach for another (touch Points) features works created by SDAI Artist-In-Residence Flavia D’Urso during her summer residency. Flavia D’Urso completed her MFA at California College of the Arts in San Francisco, CA and earned her B.S. in Studio Art and Psychology from New York’s Skidmore College.
Her work centers around investigations of how bodies move through, become, and unbecome in contemporary physical and emotional space. She works with bodily materials such as salt, bone meal, blood meal and horse hair contemporaneously with latex, ceramic, video displayed on monitors, building foam, or other materials to create bodies that act as complex assemblages.
Each season, SDAI’s Matthew J. Mahoney Artist-in-Residence program provides the selected resident with a private, 200 sq. ft. studio space to create new work, culminating in an exhibition at the San Diego Art Institute in Balboa Park.
