LANDMARK
 

17 May – 8 June 2008
OPENING RECEPTION Saturday 17 May, 6-9pm

 
 

Crawl Space is pleased to present Seattle’s Eroyn Franklin and Portland’s Jenene Nagy in Landmark, a pairing of guest artists working in disparate media, each working through selective mapping to abstract landscapes into sculptural objects.

Jenene Nagy’s recent work is a sort of painting-sculptural hybrid, using the immediate gallery setting to house 2D and 3D growths of jagged, brightly-colored reduced landscapce scenes.  Travelling from wall to stilted props, these expanses play between scenic painting and structure. Jenene received her MFA from the University of Oregon, has exhibited widely across the United States and is the Director of TILT Gallery in Portland.

Eroyn Franklin’s recent work includes a series of selected maps that she's altered by hand-cutting and removing all but her intended subject. There is a map of the British Empire as only streets.  There is a map of waterways. There is a map of New Orleans with only those streets remaining that touch Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River. Eroyn received her BFA in Photography from University of Washington and has exhibited throughout the Seattle area.
