Artist Registry


The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK

Inspired by geologically dynamic and sublime locations, the work examines our fragile environment, through explosive and fragmented marks, layered in painted and stained fabrics. The work is a study of transformation, investigating exchanges that are seen and unseen to the eye and exposing moments when one thing becomes another. Time, movement and observations of the effects of light on the eye are also explored. The interference of light seen on objects and through the camera lens is visually recreated using a variety of collaged information such as satin, velvet and reflective fabrics layered with paint on wood panel and paper.
