"Fiber Of My Being" is a two person show featuring new paintings by Anne Canfield and site specific installations by Ana Hernandez.

Anne Canfields imagery is founded out of two worlds; one real and one imagined, meeting somewhere in between. In her paintings she uses representation and symbolism to voice a story or create a portrait. She explores a sense of being, time and of place as each piece is remnant from personal experiences, travels and daydreams.

For Ana Hernandez the female body interweaves with the environment around her to materialize ideas of transplantation and adaptation. These connections take form in a discipline of colors and simple materials which are recontextualized and brought to a greater importance through volume and the insistence of repetition.

Ellie Brown Interview

We recently met up with Ellie Brown to discuss her current solo exhibition, A Chronicle of Lovers which is on exhibit in New York from September 23, 2009 to December 5, 2009.

The Chronicle of Lovers project was started in homage to each of the men the artist has slept with. Each man has a book and a digital print of the book in his name. The books are based on her impressions, memories and experiences with each man, regardless of whether the experience was positive or negative. She has contacted the men she’s still in touch with to share her altered book version of their affair. The artist stresses that each book is an earnest evaluation of her memories and not in any way meant to degrade, attack, or humiliate the men. Organized by Alexander Campos, Executive Director.
