Same Field #14
Jackie Tileston’s work seems to defy rational explanation while hinting at a more meaningful internal logic. Her images use eastern iconography and copious negative space. She was kind enough to answer a few questions to give us a hint at the thought process behind the work.
Vacationland
I know suburban life a little too well, and Amy Bennett explores this world in her Neighbors series. She builds a set for each piece, examines different perspective options, then starts a painterly yet realistic depiction of this familiar realm. Her new series titled, At the Lake involves a lakefront diorama, where Amy is free to capture the essence of water (through resin) while still contributing to her narrative. Hope you enjoy these beautiful micro-managed worlds.

‘Peripetics or The installation of an irreversible axis on a dynamic timeline’
Zeitguised made a piece in six acts for the opening exhibition at the Zirkel Gallery. It entails six imaginations of disoriented systems that take a catastrophic turn, including the evolution of educational plant-body-machine models and liquid building materials.
I really relate to this work. It seems to operate on that level of subconscious associations between seemingly unrelated objects, structures, and textures.
Don’t miss the making of video. It’s a great look into the creative process, like a video sketchbook.

Mia Pearlman
Mia Pearlman’s work is a meditation on chance, control and the ephemeral nature of reality. The forms in her work exist on the brink of being and not being, free from physical constraint. Imaginary landscapes are shown frozen in mid-evolution, on the brink between contracting or expanding, solidifying or breaking apart. Her goal is to find the picture beyond the big picture, the space between the nucleus and the electron, the moment between creation and destruction.
This is what happens when you learn to draw early on and then spend the rest of your life exploring and refining ideas. Conceptual architect Lebbeus Woods interprets architecture as an interplay between forces, mechanical fragments, scabs, shifting tectonic plates and war. His ideas shatter into being, unhindered by technical limitation. Metal and wire bulge and erupt into exciting new forms. Enjoy these (many) methodical renderings of frantic, splintered spaces.
