Gardening as Critical Practice

Everything is Strange

A Library Gallery exhibition by Anna Lyle

There is a new exhibition in the Library Gallery! You should make some time to visit the MCAD Library to see Anna Lyle's exhibition: Everything is Strange.

Exhibition: Wednesday, January 18–Tuesday, February 7 MCAD Library Gallery

Exhibition Introduction by the artist: Over the past few years, I have been creating work representing fabric and the human figure, intersecting and morphing into each other. This exploration began as small graphite drawings on paper a few years ago. These tiny, intricate, and obscure drawings are very curious to me and led to me branching off into large drawings on paper, large paintings on paper, and then drawings on wood panel. There are many modes that this morphing and intersection has taken in my visual work. In between these drawings on paper, paintings on paper, and drawings on wood panel, I created more formal paintings on wood panel that spoke to a more crisp and clear reality of fabric and figure interacting in the same space (www.annalyle.com/unraveling). These works truly informed my more abstract "anatomical fabric" pieces, mining conceptual inspiration from deconstructing ideologies and learning about place and purpose in the world outside of the Southern Baptist Christian culture in which I grew up.

For this particular exhibition, I am showing my process to final creation; the whole breadth of study. I find that seeing these various scales and modes of abstraction through mark-making intertwining with the figure is intriguing and a deep well of discovery for the viewer.
