exhibition_note:
EXQUISITE is an exhibition that celebrates the delight in seeing and investigating. The three artists, each in their own way, explore light, transparency, layering, bubbles, and color, and materials such as plastic and epoxy resin. They challenge us to find a different kind of beauty, one often inherent in generally available commercial products. The work brings about a new awareness of the reading of space and narrative structures. Although each artist's work lies within the realm of traditional painting and sculpture, the work is first and foremost constructed objects that call attention to their process of creation. The artists give us clues as to further investigations, asking us to project our own sensibility into the play of surface and light, and hints at a possible larger context, whether related to our dependence on oil (Sarah Bliss), hidden or secret story telling (Allison Paschke), or the commercial vocabularies that makes us take delight in candy wrappers, even before we put the candy in our mouth (Sand T). Themes intertwine: death, nostalgia, and the languages of commercials, blend with modes of seeing, with delight and quiet ecstasy.

work_note:
"Sand T's work appears grid-like and systematic, yet each work is so individual, said gallery director Susie Nielsen. "As clean and sharp as the art objects appear, there is a very emotional quality to them, as one can literally see their reflection in the work and also lose oneself in it. The work invokes investigation from different views and angles. It makes your senses react, you wonder if you hear the air bubbles moving, breathing. The layers of graphite lines and the "bubbles" (resin droplets) add different layers and levels of complexity to each piece." - Susie Neilsen, director of farm gallery, Wellfleet, MA------- ARTIST STATEMENT: "An oversimplifying approach to art-making is the inspiration behind my work. I describe my work as non-objective reductive art that deals with the elements of repetition, geometric abstraction and minimalism." And: "The reductive aesthetic in my work is an overlapping of decidedly contrary visual elements: fluidity vs. structural, opacity vs. transparency, and formalistic vs. introspective."
