Moving often, she undertook thesepaintings as a way of documenting her home. Recognizable objects andclearly defined three-dimensional spaces are often layered with abstractelements and stations indicating the artist's preoccupation with thedichotomies of physical and metaphysical, spiritual and material,tangible and intangible.The works in Donnamaria Bruton: Interiors explore interior spaces, specificially Bruton's living spaces.
