Arienti encourages viewers to see, think and feel more perceptively, more deeply--to move beyond the instant decoding of imagery that is so commonly practiced today. His goal is for audiences to ponder and puzzle, to return repeatedly to an image, discovering in it untold details and depths, and above all bringing to it a sense of wonderment. ... Drawing is of course no longer exculsively a product of pencil applied to paper. Arienti works with myriad alternate approaches to the medium--from tracing, drilling, folding, and punching to piercing, scratching, cutting, stitching, and burning--always with an eye to exploring all possible nuances of color, texture, and surface"--Pieranna Cavalchini, inside publication.
Turin-born, Brooklyn-based Luisa Rabbia produced this delightful book of collage--inspired by archival photographs purchased by Isabella Stewart Gardner from local photographers while traveling through China in 1883--during her residency at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Rabbia manipulates the photographs with drawings made via digital projection.
