Art Professor Shows Work in New York at DCKT Contemporary
November 9, 2012
Art Professor Lia Halloran
has a show opening in New York at DCKT Contemporary on Saturday, November 17, 2012 – January 6, 2013 titled,
Metamorphose
.
Large-scale works feature Halloran’s unusual technique of laying ink on drafting film; the human form and the passage of time is simultaneously considered, where the organic body experiences a sublimation into the realm of the inanimate.
Referencing rocks and crystals collected in Professor Halloran’s studio, the artist coerces the controlled movement of the ink from solution into solid. Professor Halloran’s process begins less at the moment the ink is applied to the drafting film, but more at the point where the deep blue pigment undergoes a ‘self-reanimation’ and unpredictably migrates over the surface.
