Drawing from the Source
a look into the artist's working process
ARTISTS' SOURCES ARE AS VARIED AS ARTISTS THEMSELVES, BUT REGARDLESS OF THE ARTIST, THE SOURCES ARE USUALLY FOUND IN THE PRIVATE REALM OF THE STUDIO - A SPACE THAT'S FREQUENTLY AS INACCESSIBLE AS IT IS ENCHANTING.
"DRAWING FROM THE SOURCE" OFFERS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER THE INNER WORKSPACE OF EIGHT VERY DIVERSE ARTISTS - DAVID PAGE, ELIZABETH BRADY, BEVERLY RESS, KATE MACKINNON, BETH HOECKEL, JULIE JANKOWSKI, STACY ARNOLD, AND LORI LARUSSO. JORDAN FAYE CONTEMPORARY HAS CRAFTED AN EXHIBITION OF AVAILABLE WORK THAT IS ALSO MATERIAL EVIDENCE OF THE ARTIST'S WORKING PROCESS - IN THE FORM OF NOTEBOOKS, STUDIES, AND OBJECTS.
NOTEBOOKS AND STUDIES ARE THE RESERVOIR OF THE ARTIST'S WORKING LIFE. IN THEM WE CAN SEE THE THRILL OF AN IDEA MADE SUDDENLY VISIBLE - OR IMAGES AND NOTATIONS HELD IN SUSPENSION UNTIL THE LIGHTING OF INSPIRATION STRIKES. OBJECTS ALSO CAN BE TOUCHSTONES THAT SPEAK TO AN ARTIST - AND THE POWER OF THESE ALMOST RITUAL TALISMANS CAN BE TRANSMITTED TO A RECEPTIVE VIEWER.
ALL THESE WINDOWS AND MORE PROVIDE A RARE, UNINHIBITED, AND REVEALING VIEW INTO ARTISTS WE MAY ONLY THINK WE KNOW - AT A NEW AND EXCITING BALTIMORE ART SPACE THAT WE ALSO ONLY THINK WE KNOW.
"DRAWING FROM THE SOURCE" OPENS AT JORDAN FAYE CONTEMPORARY WITH A PUBLIC RECEPTION ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, FROM 5 - 11PM. THE EXHIBITION CONTINUES THROUGH MARCH 30.
