Rebecca DiDomenico

Mica Chamber, Rebecca DiDomenico’s site-specific installation is made up of more than 10,000 rectangles of mica, covering 10,000 black and white images representing a variety of life, from personal to universal, from particular to general.  The chamber represents the visual strata of life, a unique cross-section of an instant in time.  Viewers make their own visual references as images pop to the surface, while others recess into the background.  Images begin to relate to each other in an attempt to compartmentalize, and draw upon an understanding of the complex nature of a room.

Living and working in Boulder, Colorado, DiDomenico’s home is designed as an inventive sculpture to inhabit, infuse and nurture the creative process.  With colored concrete pigment in the floors, inlaid Japanese stones, light fixtures from salvaged materials, church doors, and a giant fish tank as a shower wall.  Sunlight pours through the windows into her studio. Within this space Rebecca explores the logical and the unknown, and finds that she is an inquisitive translator and a medium for magic.

DiDomenico studied creative writing and English literature at the University of Colorado, receiving a bachelor’s degree.  She has also studied at Pitzer College in Claremont, California and at Tribuvan University in Kathmandu, Nepal.  Her work has been exhibited at the San Francisco Craft and Folk Art Museum, the Sirius Art Center in Cork, Ireland, the Sangre de Cristo Art Center in Pueblo, Colorado, Long Island University, Brooklyn, NY, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver and the Denver Art Museum.  Currently, a documentary film is being made about her life, her home and her artwork.
