“Meet the Artist”
Friday, January 13, 5-8pm
AS IT WAS: WORKS BY TAMARA ZIBNERS
The compressed pictorial composition, near-total image obliteration, and over-saturated color in Zibners’ digital drawings and inkjet collages are visual representations of the outside world’s informational and emotional overload that she observes while existing in relative calm within the confinements of domesticity and motherhood. The result is bright and enticing — but almost too bright, like a warning or discomfort signal, borderline grotesque. Featuring Zibners’ work from her most recent Hold You series, and her earlier series, Mimi’s Diary and How Bad Can it Get.
