Work
[edit]Bozzi is known for her landscapes. She finds much of her inspiration for her landscape paintings during drives along interstate highways, country roads and city streets across the United States.[9] She uses her steering wheel as her easel and paints with a variety of media including oil, watercolor and gouache on different types of surfaces.[9] Bozzi's interpretation of landscape is non-traditional[9] and the natural world she paints is "dehumanized" and "collected" like a specimen.[10] Another reviewer, Paul Richard, compared her "clinical detachment and attention to the seen" as qualities that would have "pleased John Ruskin."[11] The sense of collecting the landscape and her attention to detail has been attributed to her working as a laboratory assistant and scientific illustrator at Stanford University.[12] Her paintings are rarely larger than four by ten inches and she prefers a somber palette.[13] Her landscape choices are often considered unusual and can be anything from a "desolate strip of land along a highway to rubble from a freshly dug grave in a cemetery."[13] These often overlooked areas of the American landscape is brought to life through Bozzi's "interplay of light and color."[1]
Bozzi is also known for her food art. These pieces are preserved or reproduced food items using wood, plaster, paint and clay which have been "enshrined beneath glass."[14] Bozzi also paints realistic images of foods, such as doughnuts and pan de muerto.[15][16]
