Desert (Loss)
Solo Exhibition
Project Statement - Desert (Loss)
Desert (Loss) investigates the suspension between loss and distance, through the language of a fractured desert. These remixed landscapes imply the weirdness of the West; vastness and density become memories of memory, mutations of a white-hot encounter. Historian Simon Schama says “landscape is a work of the mind. Its scenery is built up as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock,” just as our own stories and memories are constructed of layered moments.
My strata are flattened, graphic layers, which suggest the way recollection develops a fictional sheen, with pinpoints of lucid detail; certain moments burn and remain. The play between flatness and depth asks what it means to inhabit the space between memory and experience, where fleeting exchanges flare and dissolve. My compressed imagery is remixed, just as we shuffle memories like tracks on a playlist—moments fade and recur. Some details get replayed.
In processing a personal sense of dislocation and loss, I am drawn to the landscape of media and television—complex spaces I’ve inhabited in life and through fiction. Like memory, TV offers a dual sense of place, a spark of the ‘here’ and ‘elsewhere.’ Imagery in Desert (Loss) remixes my own media-infused artwork, drawing on television, personal photographs and even Google Street View to form a composite desert; a California-New Mexico-Hollywood of past and present.

Exposed - Contemporary Gravure -
July 5 - 26, 2014 (Opening July 5, 5-8 pm) - Albuquerque, NM
This group showcases the extreme diversity of the gravure medium. The process requires a photographic or drawn image to be exposed by ultraviolet light to transfer the image to the plate. New Grounds printmakers will show works that represent being exposed in a literal sense.
From drawn images - which could be mistaken for lithographs - to abstract multi-plate landscapes, poignant figurative images and dreamlike mixed-media pieces this show might inspire photographers, painters and even non-artists to try their hand at this versatile medium. Collectors will find new work by their favorite artists, Diane Alire, Jessica Weybright, Mary Sundstrom, Kathe Noe and Jorge Tristani, and work by our new members such as Jessica Krichels, Ren Adams and Elaine Soto.
Exhibition dates: July 5 – 26, 2014
Sneak Preview: July 1 - 3
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 5, 5 – 8 pm
Demonstration: Gravure will be demonstrated from 6:30 to 7 pm during the reception.
Cost of event: Free
Gallery hours: Wednesday through Sunday 10 am to 6 pm, Tuesday 10 am to 4 pm, closed Mondays.
