Internal Landscapes:
Imagined, fantastic, abstracted reflections of nature

Ann Maki
Elissa Voland
Li Turner
Mistie Erickson

From inside their studios, artists Ann Maki, Elissa Voland, Li Turner and Mistie Erickson explore delicacy, rigidity and imagined spaces as a Freudian expression of the natural world seen through the mind’s eye. Daydreaming of childhood walks outdoors, golden light through the trees at sunset, parsley picking and bats flying; nature gives way to an internal but visual expression of rhythm and movement. The work draws from the paradoxes evident in textured surfaces and form, found both in nature and industry. These artists draw our attention to tactile surfaces, line and what connects these things to the fluid, strings of memory tied to our personal experience.

Jenny Kemp: Appendages

This series of work documents artist Jenny Kemp’s visual study of the similarities between trees and humans, particularly in terms of growth. An appendage, a natural prolongation, is any subsidiary part super-added to another part. Kemp acknowledges segments of growth in nature and pushes the viewer to relate to and recognize the tree as a metaphor for human growth; growing unpredictably, two never to grow the same way. Its appendages, or branches, reach out in all directions to grow and eventually inherit its "stance."
