About the Item: Margaret Fitzgerald lives and works in Albuquerque, New Mexico. When asked how this impacts her work she writes, “I find New Mexico a good place to make art and maybe especially Albuquerque because it's an unfinished place that is still not gentrified. There is a rawness and an expansive, open-endedness about New Mexico that I find very conducive to making art.” Fitzgerald’s art responds to the challenges facing the world and so these qualities are perhaps the perfect environment to tackle all that she wants to say. Her work is spontaneous, immediate and filled with tension. In them mark making becomes a language and the act of covering and uncovering a practice in non permanence. The work is intuitive and always developing. In this way she likens them to her surroundings both natural and urban. The overlap between these spaces is, much like her paintings, a fight between structure and gesture, containing and out growing.
