Christine Stoughton
The works selected for this exhibition are based on the shared common experience in 2020 of the struggles to stay connected in a very disconnected world.
Formally, artists always deal with the questions of relationships and connectivity. These works explore connection and disconnection both formally and thematically. Many of the framed works incorporate collage, thus resulting in a constructed image, and others involve the deconstruction of a material that is then rebuilt in a new manner. Some of the drawings include the adhering of 3 dimensional materials to execute the drawn image. The more linear sculptural works are approached as drawings in space, with the reflected shadows being a part of the piece. Thematically, references to bridges, ladders, crossing borders, and knots, support the formal execution of these works.
Strung Along #2, ink monotype, 11.5" x 12" SOLD
From Protection and Escape series, mixed media sculpture with handmade abaca, 12" x 12" x 12" Available
