Suzy Scarborough
'Lavender Vision' Mixed Media Collage Painting

2017

About the Item

Suzy Scarborough begins each piece by creating a collage background of book pages from late nineteenth and early twentieth century books. She chooses these books for their beautiful intricate engravings, drawings and the golden brown paper. Scarborough also uses more modern sources including: botanical drawings, mechanical drawings, maps, mathematical/geometric drawings, architectural drawings, medical/anatomical illustrations, non english texts, illustrations of ancient cave drawings and other archaeological sites, etc. Over the collage Scarborough paints with acrylic paint, oil sticks, and sometimes water color. She allows the painting to develop organically, allowing the paint to drip and puddle. The pieces have an encaustic finish which gives each piece a misty luminous quality.

  • 'Red Orange Diversity' Sculptural Dot Painting
    Located in Rye, NY
    Women, and their empowerment, are a constantly recurring element in the works of Patrizia Casagranda, whether as a movie star, princess, mythological figure, rubbish collector from India or a member of a particular faith. "I think women are great," the Krefeld, Germany artist and mother of three daughters states. The juxtaposition of these portraits create a tension that is both evocative and aesthetic. Patrizia travelled to India, where she met the rubbish girls from the Indian snake caste, the Kabelia, who gave her their rubbish finds, which she in turn used, literally, as the basis of her works. The idea of her art was born, the recycled materials "from the street", such as truck tarpaulins, pieces of jute, fabric, paper or cardboard, are overlaid with "15 to 20, sometimes more" layers of painting, consisting of a mortar-gypsum mixture enriched with pigments. Patrizia also wants the viewer to contemplate what the word type fragments are on her paintings; these can be a poem or even Charlie Chaplin's speech from the film The Great Dictator...

  • Large Animal Wall Sculpture: 'Wormhole'
    By Gin Stone
    Located in New York, NY
    'I am a multidisciplinary artist with a focus on ecofeminism using fiber and mixed media constructions. My materials include hand-dyed commercially fished line and ghost gear, recycled and antique textiles, fabric printed with cyanotype emulsions and found objects. I change the existing surface of recognizable animals by creating a veneer of unexpected color and imagery. This forces the viewer to consider the shape more carefully by visually exploring its new topography. The creation process can be likened to painting with fiber (that has been tinted with hand-mixed dyes) on a three-dimensional canvas. Intense work is spent creating the eyes and ears to convey the emotion of each animal. I look to the work of Joan Mitchell and The Quilters of Gee’s Bend as inspiration for pattern and color, as well as charts, iconography, and satellite imaging.' -Gin Stone...

  • Shopping Cart: 'The Great Resignation Baggage Cart, Emotional Baggage Cart'
    By Theda Sandiford
    Located in New York, NY
    'My Emotional Baggage Carts are vessels to dispose of racial trauma. The act of making, weaves the sting of macro and microaggressions into the cart, freeing me from these constraints. Each recovered shopping cart is unique, but they all are woven with upcycled materials like rope, paracord, grocery bags, rope lights, beads, fabric, and bottle caps. The cart is with a protective zip tie blanket to trap trauma and prevent its escape. For me, my Emotional Baggage Carts are a release, for you, they are an opportunity to look within and recognize any emotional baggage you, yourself may be carrying and release it.' Theda Sandiford...
