Kim Carlino: "The Artifice of Geometry"

Imagined worlds  arise from nothingness. Linear constructions bubble out of fluid forms, while geometry asserts itself into an improvised landscape.

Kim Carlino lives and works in Easthampton, MA, and she received her BFA in 2011 from University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Helen Payne:
"Here I Sit, Brokenhearted"

 

An installation on bathroom tiles where drawings make visceral vignettes, showing moments ranging from giving birth to getting booked.  A shape-shifting protagonist emerges from the tiles. She morphs in time and race and limps along at odds with expectations but at one with viscera. 

"Here I Sit, Brokenhearted" is about the ill fit of the body and how our most private moments can play out in the public sphere.
