Originally from Bath, New York, and a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology's School for American Crafts in Metalsmithing and Jewelry, Tara Conley lives and works in Houston, Texas. Conley is an artist known for her extraordinary knack of creating organic, yet original shapes from man-made materials whilst adding a sense of humor and wonder to the mix. Based on the collection of over 1400 phrases heard aloud, Conley has produced neon and cast bronze phrases in curvilinear script, which hang a few inches from the wall and cast a shadow, like an echo of the voice once heard.
