October
Travancore lll :: Chosen Terrain, Mercury 20
Chosen Terrain, my two person show at the Mercury 20 Gallery was a great success. The exhibit was well attended, and I was pleased to see many artist friends and introduce them to my current series: Arborescence.
Debabellizer :: Chosen Terrain, Mercury 20
Chosen Terrain, received attention from 2 East Bay publications and was given positive critical notice.
“Ratcliff prints large gray-scale digital photographs of landscape motifs from her travels and draws and paints on them, sometimes also adding collage and transfers, creating complex montages that play with spacial ambiguity: abstraction and depiction go in and out of focus as we visually negotiate these hybrid spaces, equally centripetal and expansive, in which far and near intermingle, suggesting ritual transport and transformation.” DeWitt Cheng, East Bay Express
To coincide with the exhibition, with Peter’s help, I published
Arborescence, a book which details my current series and reproduces the works in full color. Thanks to the magic of computer animation you can page through the first few spreads.
Happy Fall! I hope this finds you well.
