Appealing to the senses and evoking emotional states, wonder is the principal effect that the objects that I make incite. My work consists of three interrelated ventures: floral relief carvings in wax, floral paper cut-outs and drawings of exotic fowl. The exotic fowl series, in its earliest stages, was exclusively of cocks and cockerels, but […]
Rough Bush at Allston Skirt Gallery
Los Angeles-based artist Kirsten Stoltmann recognizes the suburbs as ground for major pathological unrest, and her new exhibition at Allston Skirt Gallery, “Rough Bush: Artifacts and Heirlooms,” takes as its icon the tumbling tumbleweed—seen through Stoltmann’s eyes as a roving plant making its way through the isolated desert and into the decorum of the suburban […]
Inside Out: Margr̩t Bl̦ndal and Rachel Hayes at Solvent Space РHeather Harvey
Two concurrent exhibitions at Solvent Space in Richmond, Virginia—one a vibrant outdoor fabric installation by Richmond artist Rachel Hayes, the other a hushed, indoor installation by Icelandic artist Margrét Blöndal—work together, persuasively, to create meanings beyond the intentions of either artist. Taken together, the two installations become a metaphor for external and internal experience. Hayes […]
Lordan Bunch âProof of Maryâ – Heather Harvey

He performs a ritual remembering that is likely to survive longer and travel further than the original memorial photos ever could. The photorealistic details of […]
Wasted Bodies: Suburbia in the Work of David A. Parker – Hillary Cook
“Suburban sprawl” is a familiar term of general degradation in a contemporary society where green solutions and densely packed diversity are increasingly prized. Green is sexy and the suburbs, with their tract housing, two car garages and strip malls as far as the eye can see, are decidedly un-sexy. The suburbs are a necessary evil […]
Sylvie Guillem, Russel Maliphant – Emilio Corti
The association between super star étoile Sylvie Guillem and choreographer and dancer Russel Maliphant continues to produce masterpieces of strength and pure poetry. Each of their ten year’s worth of experience in classical and contemporary dance combined in 2003 when the dancers produced “Broken Fall” for the Covent Garden Dance Company with the Royal Ballet.
