Ajna Lichau uses video, photography, and mixed-media to create atmospheric installations that explore the body's relationship with its environment. Her most recent work, centered on the cameo, explores issues of physicality, sexuality, and sensuality. Jessica Pezalla employs simple materials (paper, felt, coated wire) to build sculptures and installations that function as waterless aquariums that “connect the natural world to the domestic.” Pezalla and Lichau have created site-specific installations for the current show. Though the artists have chosen to work independently, their works are united by a set of shared concerns. Both artists play with temporality, change, and metamorphosis, by engaging bodies—as surfaces, as objects of scrutiny or fascination—as a means to examine the problems, and properties, of observation. |
