Doris Totten Chase - Full Circle

Full Circle

In 1989, Chase returned to Seattle, dividing her time between the East and West Coasts, working on video in New York and sculpture in Seattle. She began works in glass, sometimes combining it with steel.

Working with glass I feel as if I've returned to painting in a new medium.

In 1999, her four-piece bronze sculpture Moon Gates, 17 feet high, was installed at Seattle Center. New York's MoMA acquired her complete video and film works. The Seattle Art Museum has only one Chase work in its collection: a 1950s oil painting.

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or circle:

    As full of spirit as the month of May,
    And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Wise child, didst hastily return
    And mad’st thy mother’s womb thine urn.
    How summed a circle didst thou leave mankind
    Of deepest lore, could we the center find!
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
