Funhouse: New Work by Rebecca Elise Cook + Lana Scholtz
Opening Reception Thursday, Aug. 6 from 5-8pm
A funhouse is an autonomous space, where you can wander freely through rotating tunnels and halls of mirrors. This collection of work from Cook and Scholtz was inspired by a hot day at the state fair; toys, cakes, bootleg characters and technicolor motion sickness. In pursuit of capturing the fair’s fun, these experimentations in painting revealed both artist’s urgency to seek novelty even in domestic spaces. Baking pans transformed into shiny portals, and maps of patterned chaos reveal nuanced and colorful inner worlds. Both artists are using layered imagery- Lana using veiled, transparent layers of paint over structured drawings, and Rebecca using enamel on plexiglass with found objects revealed underneath.

The photo encaustics of The River Runs Through Me combine photographs, hot wax, pigments, and markings to create a painterly view of the visual world. Dana Patterson Roth has photographed various bodies of water in New Mexico, seeking to convey the beauty and peace they bring her, while also recognizing the effects that long term drought is having on them. Even as they dry and shrink there is beauty to be seen and comfort to be felt.
