BLOB

Janet Fish (American, b. 1938), Five Bertolli Bottles, 1971. Oil on canvas, 48 x 72 in.

some of my favorite animal miniatures from nypl spencer coll. pers. ms. 49, a 16th century copy of zakariya al-qazwini's 13th century the wonders of creatures and the marvels of creation.

Diane Severin Nguyen (California-born): “It comes out of a desire to juxtapose physical tensions and the failures of their linguistic counterparts. Sometimes words can claim entire bodies with their symbolic force, but sometimes they’re nowhere near enough. Working within a non-verbal space can bring about very specific material qualities relating to touch. I work from these minute tensions, of being pressed on, pierced, pulled apart, submerged, falling, twisting, which are often related to pain. And I’m curious to see if they can be empathised with photographically, or how they can be transfigured into a different feeling.”
