Terra Incognita, Castle Gallery, College of New Rochelle

I arrived at the Castle Gallery Show to see show I am in titled Terra Incognita. There were various choices made by the director to express ideas about this unknown land. Land was interpreted as skin, as alchemical deposits, as diary, as pigment reshaped back into it’s original state of mineral, and as statement of it’s disappearance. I enjoyed seeing my pieces in this context, along these others’ works. It gave me something to think about and perhaps will help to reshape future work. What was interesting was that my piece really was the absence of land entirely, completely hidden, only leaving the forms that continue to destroy our land, commerce.
