"DISTANCE MADE GOOD" November 12, 2003 - January 24, 2005 |
|
Curated by: HAWLEY HUSSEY Curatorial Statement Bio |
distance made good, navig. 1. the distance between a point where an object has been and a point where it is at present, measured along a rhumb line connecting the two points. 2. the wayfarer uses a dead reckoning system to determine her course. 3. inspiration determines the rhumb line and dead reckoning system. As distance is the extent or amount of space between two things, the artists in this exhibition traverse (meta) physical distance through a variety of mediums to realize their inspiration. Long term collaborative communication, contemplation, moving the image up from the wilderness of the sub-conscious and provoking pen to paper, brain to cyberspace, needle to thread, bone to feather. In the end when the work arrives to the realm of public viewing and truly inspires another, the artist has at last made good the distance. |

My aura portraits are a charting of the energy between the body and the environment. They are a direct manifestation of a particular ongoing conversation and partnership. |

Longissima Via: Not straight, but snakelike, a path that unites the opposites. A joshua tree of shredded maps stands at the intersection of here and there. |

My life is about transitions, which last about 20 years each time. This piece is a celebration and closure of two cycles since my birth. Being born in the Czech Republic and re-born in the United States. |
