Vintage rhinestone jewelry is wired to foun d objects\, or woven into three-dimensional shapes while other objects a nd pieces of flattened tin are nailed to shaped panels like collaged ret ablos. Broker creates large-scale drawings with Conté crayon on Formica panels depicting lush bouquets of roses\, peonies and other flowers\, re ndered meticulously in black and white\, evocative of 16th century Dutch still life paintings. The floral imagery is echoed in her prints as wel l\, including photogravures and linocuts\, in what has been called an ex uberantly baroque style.\n\nThe artist writes\, “My work has visually de alt with bad boyfriends\, quirky family problems\, death\, and that ever -marching ticking of time called aging. I just like to make things. Thes e ‘things’ are my personal and quiet conversations with melancholia…. Th e final objects\, I hope\, revel in optimism\, beauty\, and the quirkine ss\, silliness\, and seriousness of all of the above.” The exhibition wi ll include work in a variety of media\, in scale ranging from intimate t o epic\, and completed during the past few years.\n\nBroker was born in Pennsylvania and moved to Houston in 1980 to join the faculty at Rice Un iversity where she served as chair of the Department of Visual Arts and continues to teach printmaking and drawing.
