Aging Project

The Aging Project is a recent and ongoing body of work addressing the challenging issues of aging. It includes work that focuses on failing joints and mobility, memory loss, pain, anxiety and specifically the much-advertised pharmaceutical panacea available to manage them.

ABOUT

Through her diverse sculpture, conceptual artist Pamela DeTuncq addresses some of the more compelling zeitgeists of contemporary American culture. After years in the design industry, she now applies her skills to multi-layered sculptural work addressing such disparate themes as teen alienation, gender stereotypes, and the vicissitudes of faith.
She earned her MFA in Visual Arts from the Art Institute of Boston and BA in Graphic Design from the University of Maryland. Her work has been shown nationally, with the Dennos Museum recently adding one of her fiber installations to their permanent collection.
