My animated drawings will be a part of an upcoming show at The Chazan Gallery at the Wheeler School in Providence. By Other Means, an exhibition featuring the work by Architecture Professors: Markus Berger, Gabriel Feld, Jeffrey Katz and myself. My statement for this work is as follows:
The purpose of poetry is to remind us how difficult it is to remain just one person, for our house is open, there are no keys in the doors, and invisible guests come in and out at will.― Czesław Miłosz
At an early age, as the daughter of an artist/architect father, I started asking myself where purpose and intention come from. Intentions have a suspicious relationship to a creative work; have little to do with getting an idea or making a discovery and are alien to the receiver of a work. These questions hung through the years and through the pursuits of drawing, designing and writing: producing furniture, buildings, illustrations, stories and animations. They have been the focus of conversation for 30 years with countless students and colleagues. I’ve landed on what I call animated drawing. It captures the growth and interaction of a chosen field of operation. Animated drawingis a live diary or manuscript of thoughts made from, with and for a world bigger than itself. Like anything temporal, there is no going back—keep moving, drawing from observation, drawing from memory, drawing from the imagination. Invisible guests are always welcome.
By Other Means will run from October 17 to November 6, 2019. There will be an opening reception on October 17, from 5:00 – 8:00 pm. The public is invited.
