Joanne Howard
April 25 - June 1, 2008
Sunroom Project Space
Reception: April 26, 1–4 PM
Meet the Artist: May 18, 2–4 PM
Inspired by the lush tangle of plant life that envelops the outer walls of Glyndor Gallery in warmer months, Joanne Howard has created an animated projection which features a network of rapidly growing vines. Beginning slowly, the animation carefully traces a series of intricate patterns until it explodes out of its initial precision into a frenzy of dense, freeform gesture. This play between the formality of repetition and pattern and the chaotic imagery of nature is meant to reveal humanity’s consuming, and ultimately futile desire to create order in the persistent entropy of the natural world. |
