Get into Greymatter Gallery March 2nd to see a new show, Realign featuring work from the ladies running things , Zina Mussmann and Rachel Quirk.
Take a quick read, from the artist's mouth, on the work and the process...Sounds like it'll be a great show both visually and conceptually, so make it out to the opening this Friday for the special Marshall Building open house.
My process involves the collection and appropriation of images and words from various ephemera, such as photographs, documents and film. I am interested in de-contextualizing this information and re-contextualizing it into mixed media works. These new constructions are a hybrid of drawing, painting, and collage, and create ambiguous meanings that complicate understanding. When I install the work, I try to build relationships between the pieces that are either reinforced or negated depending on location and proximity. I consider the final outcome of my work as an installation consisting of many drawings that form a whole. Very recently, I've been considering the work in the form of triptychs, which will be a majority of what I'm showing at realign.
Rachel's work involves using a process of phototransfer on fabric with acrylic mediums built up to resemble encaustic. In her new work she is dealing with female forms that have their backs to the viewer. They deny the viewer the opportunity to gaze upon them but still assert emotion. They occupy a white space and are mysterious, but still have a physical weight to them. She is interested in destabilizing the power of the gaze. -Zinahttp://www.greymattergallery.com/
