About the Item
"The transparency makes the shape of the flower clear. Gossamer, translucent. Seeing through to a dream garden. A real and unreal space. Beauty. Budding, unfolding. Dying. Precious moments. Disturbed by flowers." - Gail Norfleet, 2016
Flowers abound on multi-dimensional, transparent layers of Lucite where Norfleet creates complex “fields” that reveal her love of nature and the forms of flowers. The flowers unfold as fluidly painted blooms or as cut black and white line drawings collaged with vases or architectural motifs among them. This transparency is a natural progression after years of making monoprints. In her background as a printmaker, she used plastic plates through which she could see the image before transferring it to paper by printing on a press. In these recent works, Norfleet succumbed to the allure of pigment on a transparent surface and began experimenting with space by layering multiple Lucite panels, working on both sides, to create up to four surfaces. For Norfleet, the process is critical to the content. These are created through a combination of painting and cutting and collaging paper drawings and photographs.
Gail Norfleet earned her BFA at The University of Texas at Austin, and her MFA at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. Among others, she has had solo exhibitions in Dallas at The McKinney Avenue Contemporary and the Delahunty and DW galleries. She taught at Cedar Valley College for 12 years before devoting her attention to her studio and to private students.
This is acrylic and cut paper collage on two Lucite panels. The overall size is 24 3/4 x 49 x 2 1/8 inches, including the frame.

View AllThe Flowers of the Street of Spirits
By Gail Norfleet
Located in Dallas, TX
Artist Statement:
How many ways can I depict a flower?
I can draw it, paint it, and photograph it. Then I can manipulate those images on a printer. I can enlarge it. Make it smaller. Make the negative. Make the positive. Change the color.
My mornings in Santa Fe start with a walk around the garden to see what has bloomed overnight. Two summers ago, I rented an adobe guest house that is surrounded by Hollyhocks, Roses, Poppies, and Yellow Thistles. The flowers have crept into my vision.
The first summer, I painted the flowers using oil on canvas. The second summer I became more experimental, combining drawing, photography, and painting. Mixing the media all in one artwork, I abandoned canvas for transparent Lucite panels. The new works are essentially mixed media collage applied to Lucite. Working on front and back, layered to see through to the next. Creating a real space with real shadows but in an ambiguous world.
The flowers are dense but there is an identity and clear shape of each. These works are labor intensive, requiring precise cutting of the paper and careful application.
In "The Flowers of the Street of Spirits," black Hollyhocks stand tall with turquoise Firewheels and magenta Coneflowers. Real and unreal. Cut paper and paint come together in a surreal garden...

Night Garden
By Melissa Pokorny
Located in New York, NY
14"x19"x6"
For Melissa Pokorny, found objects constitute the starting point for elaborate sculptures that have explored gender roles, the public and private spheres, and the nature/culture divide. More recently, her work engages the connection between “things” as potent containers of memory, capably representing loss and estrangement, and the deeply haunted landscape of the everyday. Unremarkable objects become activated and heightened as they are positioned within larger tableau. The compulsion to collect, the status of marginal objects and things, and speculative connections result in fractured narratives that address these occulted objects, the allure of magical thinking and the collapse of the boundaries between the animate and inanimate.
Pokorny has been an exhibiting artist for over twenty years. Her large scale, assemblage-based sculptural works have been widely exhibited at venues across the US. Recent solo shows at Platform Gallery in Seattle and Front Room Gallery in New York augment a long career of solo exhibitions, beginning with Gallery Paule Anglim, in San Francisco and continuing with Bodybuilder and Sportsman in Chicago. Selected group exhibitions include venues such as Yerba Buena Gardens, Southern Exposure, Victoria Room, and New Langton Arts in San Francisco, Foodhouse Gallery in Los Angeles, Gallery 400, Columbia College,The James Hotel, and Devening Projects +Editions in Chicago, and The Richard Peeler...
