George Long’s current series Omnium Gatherum originated in the 8 x 8 body of work introduced at Marcia Wood Gallery in 2004 in his first solo exhibition. The 8x8x8 inch cubes presented scraps of memories - ancestral farm tools, doilies, recipes, and current mundane yet metaphoric stuff of daily life and popular culture. Numbering in the hundreds the blocks of found wood and a broad range of mixed media, created a patchwork of free association. In his artistic career Long has created and been involved in a variety of personal and collaborative work including two-dimensional art, video, film, animation, sculpture, dance, theater sets and public art.
The through line of all Long’s work, beginning with 8 x 8, has been an exploration of the import and imperfection of memory for the human experience of time. In the direct continuity of iterations as seen in 8x8 to Piles to Sorts to Omnium Gatherum, and as the touchstone for all his projects and work - from the delicately nuanced drawings of Mimic, to action-packed delightful public animations - we see layers of information accumulated and degraded as imagery fades, shifts, repeats, overlaps, separates and blends. As Sarah Higgins notes in her essay A ritual of making (non)sense of things: George Long’s “Sorts” for Flux Projects, 2017: “The philosopher Henri Bergson described the perception of the present moment as an act of instant remembering. Therefore, memory of the past is a process of reconstructing a new, but degraded, version of what was only ever remembered in the first place. In this philosophy of memory, everything we can recall is a copy of a copy of a copy. If we can’t truly remember, then the perhaps the things we keep represent our hope for a more reliable vessel. Long seems to grapple with that possibility in Sorts. He seems to want to let the viewers, ahem, sort it out for themselves.”
The Omnium Gatherum works on paper and wood in the exhibition, 3 Sided Square, now shift from narrative imagery to that of enigmatic piles of geometric shapes. Omnium Gatherum is defined as a “miscellaneous collection (as of things or persons)”. Colorful blocks of circles within squares are collaged in a charming, playful, yet somewhat tenuous, pyramid-shaped pile that is loosely foregrounded against a notion of landscape - a weathered palimpsest of atmosphere the place- ness or nowhereness of which is open to interpretation. Employing the Japanese spiritual art of ensõ, Long draws each unique circle in one fluid stroke. The ensõ symbolizes the universe and the beginning and end of all things. Through practicing the meditation of ensõ in the studio, George Long continues his contemplation of memory and time in his work.

Adversity
By Kristofer LAMEY
Located in Atlanta, GA
Born and raised in Atlanta, Kristofer Laméy has brought much to the southeastern art and design table.
From debuting his unique design perspective in the 2007 ICFF in New York City and showcasing his Art at Aqua during the 2008 Art Basel in Miami, to his solo Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA) exhibit titled “Serving Form” in 2010, Kristofer is best known for his one-off commissioned sculptural art forms. His work has found a place in homes and collections across the globe.
One of his most ambitious design challenges was solving a decades-long problem in the aviation industry: How to more efficiently design and install jet aircraft interiors. This was the birth of AIMS.
Kristofer’s work straddles a fine line that resides between art and design. Many, lost within the engineering of his creations, like to push his work out of the category of art and into the realm of design. This line is the fulcrum that leverages his work into a playing field of his own, and he is proud of that. Those looking for solutions in the marketplace that are in need of an outside perspective to differentiate a product benefit from his fresh and creative approach to modern manufacturing.
In April 2020 Kristofer moved his family to the North Georgia mountain...
