Object Label:
A cacophony of materials and imagery frame the scripture in Erony’s Please, Saint Anthony (1999). The eye is a common motif in Erony’s work. Here we see it paired with a brain and with fragmented views of a face fading into the background. The lack of resolution in the portraiture lends itself to a lack of identity or personage, as the title of the work is a plea to the patron saint of lost items. Erony (b. 1949, Boston, MA; lives and works in Gloucester, MA) completed her B.F.A. in 1971 at the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston, MA. Her work is held in numerous collections in the Northeast and around the country
