Artwork Documentation

As a lens- and time-based artist myself, I feel the work and understand the artist's creative intention before anything. Documentation is far more than recording a work’s appearance — I approach it from the inside out and find the story that lives within each piece.

Paz Sher

https://pazsher.com

Sher is an installation artist, sculptor, and educator who lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. His installations appear to be playful-mad scenarios, where individual sculptures are structured into hermetic and cryptic systems of objects within ambiguous environments. Through this practice, he crafts experimental encounters that transcend linguistic boundaries, offering glimpses into an exaggerated present to undermine today’s calamities.

Eleanor Mahin Thorp

https://www.mahinthorp.com

Rooted in childhood observations of mining industries and Persian animistic traditions, Thorp’s work examines how landscapes are abstracted, reimagined, and inscribed through extraction, mythology, and mana. Through site visits, she documents geological formations in highly charged locations; mines, former battlefields, sites of preservation, geological anomalies, and landscapes embedded with local lore and historical disruption.

Elizabeth Hackenberg

At this moment, Hackenberg is piddling around Brooklyn, grasping dreamlets from a city electrified sleep-scape. She blurts these into installations and textile paintings and consider the unfitting shape of a woman’s body. Hackenberg conducted independent studies in Osaka, Japan and the Southwest desert, researching petroglyphs and wabi-sabi (2020). In 2021, a car accident prompted a TBI transforming her practice from portraiture into a meditation on interior spaces. She primarily works with textiles, outdoor temporary installations, performances, and poetry.

Häsler Gómez

http://www.haslergomez.com

Häsler Gómez (b. Guatemala City, Guatamela) is a sculptor who pushes the everyday toward its poetic limits to allow questions of value, perception, power, and being to arise. Through sound, light, architectural intervention, language, and objects, he creates speculative spaces and encounters rated in the physical realities of materials, objects, and bodies. From extracting the water embedded in the air we breathe to vibrating spider webs to using roofing tar and darkness to confuse the eye, his gestures attend to the possibilities held within space, material, and form. Endlessly enamored with what things can and can’t do, his practice is an ongoing investigation into what happens when things misbehave or are missed with intention.
