| Mary Ann Strandell, "Tower/construction/Tribeca", 2019 |
This month, I am locked in the shimmery construction sites
of Mary Ann Strandell. I snapped these process shots in her studio, and
then we planted a geranium border in her garden. Her husband Michael
Rees also creates fantasies: giant AR-enabled inflatables into which you
can project your dreams or nightmares.
I like her paintings at this stage, when it looks like
they could collapse. The light is gnawing at the western edge of the
scaffolding; the light is smashed into the sixth floor balcony. It is
drippy with life juices. At this moment, the painting still believes it
can grow up to be an astronaut. (Is the painting female? Will there will
be a space suit in its size?)
