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
In the late 1990s after decades of working in painting, photography, and literature, Rosaire Appel began experimenting with handwriting and letter forms, the underpinnings of asemic writing. Switching focus from verbal to visual she also began making artist books. Her work uses material from both analog and digital sources. Freely combining and juxtaposing data, her abstract visual languages make connections between verbal and visual abstract narratives. She draws sentences and paragraphs, poems and sound, as well as abstract comics and graphic novellas. Her work has been included in many literary journals and exhibited sporadically in the U.S. as well as Europe.
