REVIEWS

“The fiber cylindrical combinations of Irmari Nacht of Englewood, one of the most prepossessing artists in the show, reveal at once a sense of material and mystical power. The viewer is drawn to the patterns, earth colors and textures while experiencing an elemental power in the totemic and shrine-like imagery of the works.”

- David Shirey, New York Times

“One of themost powerful was a group of columns done in earth-colored fibers. For all its simplicity in geometric purity, this work by Irmari Nacht was startling in its inventive vervacity.”

- David Shirey, New York Times

“Irmari Nacht’s torn books are beautiful ... a well of witty and insightful metaphors. And it’s beautiful ... “Maps” is a handsome, smart and challenging show ... one of Maine’s very best shows of 2010.”

- Daniel Kany, Portland Press Herald

“Often, gems of one-person shows can be discovered in a museum’s smaller exhibition spaces, Irmari Nacht of Englewood, known up to now for her tall, cylindrical fiber sculptures, changes her approach for a show in the mini gallery of the Newark Museum, Her“DomeSeries” consists of handmade paper sculpture usually small in scale and round in contour.”

- Eileen Watkins, Star Ledger

“The work revealed an appreciable amount of individuality, as well as superb craftsmanship. It might be a fascinating enterprise were the artist to turn her miniature works of paper into full-scale structures. They might be more serviceable than many built today and they certainly would be more interesting,”

- David Shirey, New York Times

“Irmari Nacht’s work is the most delightful in a show otherwise heavy with self involvement. Her three shots of unfolded Maze Books of “Famous Artist Nudes” surprise with their arrangement; her “Books 73 Sex” is a humorous send up of sex manuals with deconstructed nude body parts attached to the edges of a many-paged book. And her “Famous Artist Nudes” are cheerful, manipulated photo collages of nudes from the Renaissance through Pop Art.”

- Leon Graham, theArt Scene, Tri-Corner News

“Two groups of canvas-covered columns by Irmari Nacht, arranged on the floor and up one wall, are stained and collaged in appealing pastel hues,”

- Helen Harrison, New York Times
