Margaret Corbett

Artist Statement

I earned a BFA with studies at Temple University and Rosemont College. My work has evolved from figurative to abstract and symbolic. I am interested in a variety of mediums including steel sculpture, assemblage, charcoal, painting and collage. Mathematical concepts and diagrams are often featured. Currently I am working on a series of Horizon paintings on paper featuring the redaction of the rectangle and formulas for locating oneself on the horizon. Albers, Rembrandt and Rothko are among my favorite artists.
