"disaster [place] Art Deck" (2022) 31 full color prints, numbered in roman numerals on the back sides, printed on 130 lb cougar finish cardstock; 6x4" cards printed with an image of each work of disaster [place] in a hand scripted envelope Deck is 6 x 4 x 5/8" Digital Print / Text / Minimalism and Contemporary Minimalist / Feminist Art and Contemporary Feminist / Artists’ Books ABOUT THIS PROJECT The "disaster [place]" installation (containing 29 charcoal works on paper) began as an itch to scrawl. “I wanted the feeling of going big and free and loose,” says Halpern. “I rolled out some craft paper on the kitchen floor, got on my knees, swept across the giant page with a screeching piece of charcoal. The sound was horrible… [but] that sweep became the first piece of disaster [place], the large brown sheet muse-hollering what I would like to say about this place is.” Over the next two years, 2019-2021, Halpern returned to the project, probing themes of multiplicity and spaces of possibility, as well as loss, softness, and localized disaster. The text-based installation grew slowly, with the addition of one word or phrase at a time, until a network of meaning emerged. An intuitive experience from beginning to end, the artist discovered the work to be complete and ready for presentation one day last August. A year later, the work is primed for its first public presentation. The development of the work received support from Arts On Site R&R in Kerhonkson, NY. The 31 card art deck serves as a memento. Halpern’s previous installations include Heartstrung: An Immersion in the Emotional Body, created with Talita Cabral for SMUSH Gallery in Fall 2018, and The Labyrinth for Reflection & the Generation of Love [No. 9], a public artwork commissioned by Jersey City’s Exchange Place Alliance in 2019 as part of their public art program. Halpern has previously shown small works at Deep Space Gallery in The Gigantic Miniature Show (Winter 2021), Mother Shipment (Spring 2021), and More Minis (Winter 2020).

Her primary medium of choice is printmaking, exquisite etchings whose protagonists jump off the page to tell their stories. Like all good narratives that lucidly roll from one tale to the other the artist works in series. Be it her Kissa Goi or her new Vachik stories, each work comprises of many parts, all fitting together as one large work, or, equally as pleasing, as individual works that may or may not speak to each other in any combination of pattern. Sonal lives and works in Lucknow, in India, the City famous for its tradition of Ghazal poetry. In past times the poems were displayed in Diwan's (illustrated books) a calligrapher and artist would be commissioned to illustrate the poems. Sonal references these traditions and we can see traces of this in her contemporary images. Ghazal's delight and employ elements of playfulness, anecdote and surprise. They take their audience on a bitter-sweet journey and Sonal invites us to do the same. The artist explains that in the evenings the women gather on the roof terraces of her town to tell the tales that are passed down. These are stories that primarily revolve around the woman and their everyday role in a patriarchal society. These tales become mixed with the contemporary, both local and global events that effect the lives of the women. At first glance there is an anecdotal quality to the visual narratives but look a little longer and you will be rewarded by layer upon layer of meaning. Through the clever use of text and images of objects which may at first appear to be dislocated, each part of the image pulls together the narrative, expanding it into many different levels. In Sonal's own words, This work is very close to my heart, a lot of emotions are attached to this work. Some such feelings that awakened for the first time and they were priceless. I have lived that time, felt it very closely, whatever happened to me at that time, I have tried my best to make it work. Kajal has a very important role, when there are children and grandmothers complete it, it is said that by applying Kajal in the eyes of the children, the eyes become bigger.
