About the Item

Liz Jaff creates intricate constructions which use repetition, patterns and forms from nature and architecture to explore ideas of love, commitment, sacrifice and memory of time and space. Relief works are made with layered sheets of paper plotted with grids of cut and folded circles. Site specific installations and objects are built with repeated components or blocks of abstracted forms. These are ruminations or daydreams, the repetition of a single thought or sensation, a poem or a fairytale. They are vehicles to count time and remember. This work of art is a meditation on the expressive range of the circle. Cut into paper, folded conscientiously, repetitively, acknowledging the art of origami, Jaff generates an expression that feels like Harlem Jazz from the 40s. A Boogie-Woogie sensibility. Liz Jaff lives and works in New York City. She studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and her work has been shown nationally and internationally, including at Widmer Theodoridis Gallery, Switzerland, The Art Complex Center, Tokyo, Rochester Contemporary Arts Center, Montserrat College of Art, Sugarlift x High Line Nine, the innovation festival, Hubweek, and Arte Laguna Prize 16 finalist exhibition.

    By Mark Pomilio
    Located in Phoenix, AZ
    charcoal on paper mounted to silk foam core and wood Mark Pomilio’s work focuses on the research of fractals, cloning, and single cell manipulation. His mathematics-based drawings serve as a metaphor for naturally occurring systems of reproduction and growth. When Pomilio begins a piece, he doesn’t know where it will lead; although his tools and marks are precise, the layering, repetition, rotation, and distribution of basic shapes are improvised to emulate a single cell dividing and compounding into a complex form. The process of cell growth influences Pomilio’s practice and is emphasized through his own process, the use of erasure, faint outlines, opacity and translucency, and deliberate marks. The resulting compositions are balanced, unified, and harmonious. His work is included in the collections of the University of Arizona Museum of Art, Baylor University Martin Museum of Art, Dupont Corporation, University of Michigan...
