 Penny Young is an artist and writer from in Burbank, CA. Her motorized Rolodexes are her most recognized body of work, though Penny also makes sculptural forms out of paper, clay and combined materials. She began studying ceramics at a very young age, and the clay process continues to inform her work. Natural and industrial/urban structures are visual references that influence her imagery. Tornadoes, telephone poles, sculpted garden hedges, soaking in water, worn stucco walls, smoggy sunlight and desert road trips populate her writing and three-dimensional work. Her work embraces an ordered chaos and is likewise messy in a structured way.  SOLO EXHIBITIONS 1993-2005 LANGUAGE OF CHAOS, Gallery 825, Hollywood, CA.
