Rebecca Davis and Roger Asay have been closely associated for several decades, as artists, life mates, wife and husband and as parents. Early in that period, both emerged independently as significant figures in contemporary art.
The process of arriving at a shared collaborative sculptural expression evolved gradually. Davis was known for sculptures which celebrated the natural world by presenting unadorned wood, stone and other natural materials in simple ritualistic objects which she often called “shrines.”
Davis grew up in Denver. From the beginning Davis’ sculptures took on a distinctive character. In her first professional exhibition, the 1975 New Mexico Biennial the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, her sculpture received the Alfred Morang Memorial Award.
Roger Asay was teaching art at the University of New Mexico when he and Davis met in 1973. At that time he had just completed a transition from painting stripe configurations on geometric, shaped canvases to creating primitivist sculptures made out of bones.
