Statement

Bettina Hubby is a conceptual artist who explores themes and investigate ways in which to translate them into form. She employs a wide range of media in her expression: collage, painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, video, VR, photography, and fabric. Humor is the underlying architecture upon which Hubby builds her art. She has playfully explored a myriad of topics including: the power of language, marriage, self-realization, advice, eagles and rocks, mind metaphysics, sexual bronzes, the magnetism of animals, dating through scent, mammary memories, and googly eyes. She often collaborates and seeks out unconventional exhibition spaces, such as a construction site, an erotic museum, a wall over a highway, storefronts, the sides of buildings, her own backyard, a giant rock, and a virtual White House Lawn.
