Pat Lay Artist Bio & Statement
The collaged scrolls, 96 x 48 inches and 40 x 20 inches, use the scroll format to give the works the presence of a thangka, an object for contemplation. Digital images scanned from computer circuit boards are printed on Japanese Kozo paper and then collaged into patterns that transform them into a new matrix.  A place, created in response to our world of technological advancements and digital progress.  These works question and critique the paradoxical relationship between man and technology. I have taken a religious icon, the Tibetan thangka, and have transformed it into a contemporary icon that speaks to our obsession with technology.
 
The Soul Bots are hybrid forms that question the human condition, the interface between man, nature and technology.  How is the increasingly complex role of technology in our lives blurring the distinctions between what is human and what is machine? 

Pat Lay, born and raised in Milford, Connecticut; has been a professional artist since 1968; lived in SOHO, NYC for twelve years and has been living and working in Jersey City, NJ since 1981. A graduate of Pratt Institute and Rochester Institute of Technology, Lay is a retired Professor of Art, Montclair State University.

Pat Lay's work spans mixed media sculpture, collage and works on paper.
Lay has received two grants in sculpture from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and a grant from the American Scandinavian Foundation. She has been awarded three public art commissions including the installation of a large-scale site-specific sculpture in the sculpture park at the Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter in Oslo, Norway.
