Suzi Davidoff
Madera Canyon Cycle - Grasses 1

2014

About the Item

Davidoff creates drawings, paintings, prints and installations that consider intricate patterns in nature and the overlaying systems used to observe, map and define organic landscapes. The plants she collects on long hikes inspire her work, and she often uses found materials like clay, cochineal and lichen as media, rubbing them into the surface of the paper and panels to create beautifully subtle effects. Her works play out like diaries of her meditative walks, recording her encounters with nature, while representing her spiritual connection to the land. Her new series, entitled “Madera Canyon Cycle”, was inspired by the growth, resilience and diversity of the ecosystem in the mountainous area of West Texas after devastating wildfires. Davidoff is based in the Chihuahuan desert of West Texas. She attended the University of Texas at El Paso for her BFA and New Mexico State University for her MA and MFA. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and museums across the United States. The Galveston Arts Center featured her work in a two-person exhibition, Second Nature, in 2007. In 2009 she was awarded a Fiskars Artist’s Residency in Finland and has also been the recipient of the Mid-America NEA Fellowship and a Ford Foundation/ Pollack-Siquieros Binational Art Award. Davidoff’s work is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the National Museum of Women in the Arts; Hallmark Collection; Museum of Texas Tech University; and the El Paso Museum of Art.

  • Sisters #2 (Contemporary Vertical Indigo Panel of Hands and Botanicals, Waxed)
    By Valerie Hammond
    Located in Hudson, NY
    "Sisters #2", 2019 by Valerie Hammond 73 x 34.5 inches unframed Pigment, Color Pencil, Wax, Glass Beads, and thread on Japanese Rice Paper Coated with Beeswax Vertical, indigo panels that are unframed, can be installed with magnets, but framing is recommended. In Valerie Hammond’s series of wax drawings, protection is two-fold: the artist (previously) encases dried flowers and ferns in a thin layer of wax, preserving their fragile tissues long after they’ve been plucked from the ground. In outlining a pair of hands, she also secures a memory, or rather, “the essence of a gesture and the fleeting moment in which it was made.” Centered on limbs lying flat on Japanese paper, the ongoing series dates back to the 1990s, when Hammond made the first tracing “partly in response to the death of a dear friend, whose beautiful hands I often found myself remembering.” She continued by working with family and friends, mainly women and children, to delineate their wrists, palms, and fingers. Today, the series features dozens of works that are comprised of either hands tethered to the dried botanics, which sprout outward in wispy tendrils, or others over layed with thread and glass beads. Although the delicate pieces began as a simple trace, Hammond shares that she soon began to overlay the original drawing with pressed florals, creating encaustic assemblages that “echoed the body’s bones, veins, and circulatory systems.” She continued to experiment with the series by introducing various techniques, including printmaking, Xerox transfers, and finally Photoshop inversions, that distorted the original rendering...
