Strandell’s exhibition engages intervals of place that intersect physical and virtual space through her multiple visits between New Mexico and New York.

The installation will combine her outdoor-studio oils, architecture paintings, and 3D lenticular prints.

Mary Ann Strandell Statement +Bio

Statement:
Strandell’s works are a movable terrain between image, media and their myriad histories. Her ideas of perception and time explore the paradox of mediated images through painting, 3d lenticular, moving-image and installation. Using imagery of cultural memes, she bring into the minds-eye a query of location, placement and source. Drawn from the internet and her own photography, the works arc to include a mash of notable mid-century and modernist buildings, New York City construction sites, renditions of period rooms and porcelain objects from the ancient and contemporary trade routes. There is a constant process of visual translation in her work. From the site-made photo documenting oil paintings, to the 'staged for the archive’ internet image, or the casual note of found photography, these speculative transcriptions are set in motion. Her primary sources of traditional oil painting and drawings are often re-engineered from single planar views into the multivalent 3d lenticular media.
