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
With global warming and escalating greenhouse emissions a reality, ecosystems will experience drastic changes in the coming years. Some botanicals and life forms will mutate or disappear completely. Others, never seen before will appear in strange and surprising settings. This series explores some possibilities and perhaps challenge the viewer's perception of the familiar and the unknown. The creative process becomes a twofold excersize; first imagining the subject, then depicting it. The medium (basically layered color pencils with occasional additions) was chosen deliberately for the siimilarity between execution and actual cell growth. The subject is brought to life slowly, organically.
