Mixed Media

Curatorial Statement

The artists whose works are assembled here all take the mantle of exploring the potential of multiple mediums at once. The possibilities opened by this project multiply wonderfully, as seen by the diversity of works on view, all of which find an expression of vitality through their mediums. Perhaps these artists working with mixed media are finding a way to reaffirm our bodily connection. They have a way of bringing out the physicality of their materials in the medium’s interactions, in divergent forms. We find surprising juxtapositions or forms springing out of their prior uses. Though in different ways, the works presented allude to the body: the presence of the artist’s hand in placing objects just so; suggestive forms; organic and inorganic decay; human detritus, and more.

Some take the histories of objects as material starting points. Others recombine to spring up in entirely inventive collages. Several take maximalism as their cue and others pare down to their simplest form to offer a plaintive statement. Many works emit a bright comedy in their unexpectedness, or a deep darkness in their disharmony. I feel a sense of life from these works—which point to the human. And what if art of not an indicator of vitality? Though mediated through a digital platform, I took delight in how these works refused to remain inert on screen and entreated me to feel them.
