One thought on “BFA Installation at Urban Art Space”
Brooklyn,
Such a quiet, intimate hanging that brings the sum of the parts into a surprising evocation of color, atmosphere, landscape and objects that make up experiences. Evocative – and playful. You really discovered and trusted your work in these months. The work across the corner – and into the crease of the book builds a relationship to experiencing the moment that the exhibition occupies as well as suggesting memories based on the poetics of space, light and color. Quiet reverberations. I appreciate seeing the postings of the process of making your circles – and am thinking that there may be even more opportunity to incorporate those in other ways at other scales down the road – perhaps as piles or clusters emerging from under the paintings or as paper works that have the spots still on them – not yet cut out. I suggest again that you have a look at Polly Apfelbaum’s work with dyeing and using spots. Your interest in atmosphere and memory is distinct – and for that I can’t help but think about Turner – oddly. For your viewing as a person who is visiting a culture but not a part of it, you might look at those artists – including Turner – who traveled with a sketchbook to another country. Keep painting the small representational works as well! Finally, one of my favorite moments in your piece is the panel that looks like wood grain – it is so subtle. I would remind you of Moyra Dryer’s work for some incredible fields of color that evoke atmospheres.
