What We Saw When We Got There is a show of conceptually based drawing, with 'drawing' defined in its broadest possible terms. The art works featured in the show are disparate in focus and content, ranging from digital projection and video to maps and architectual plans, and are linked by investigation of place.    Featured Artists:
Nathan Burazer

Lucy Harvey
Amanda Hughen
Zoey Kroll
Albert Reyes
Jennifer Starkweather

Microscopic, botanical, insect, animal, human and celestial forms inspire the shapes and inform the color palette in Nathan Burazer‚s new series of animations. In digitally scanning or drawing with the computer mouse, the individual shapes are manipulated into orientations that reflect life forms and systems. Some moments are symmetrical, ordered, harmonious, while others feel imbalanced and confusing. These systems are autonomous, but will mutate together to form something new, if only to once again grow apart. Burazer arrived in animation through his practice of painting and drawing. "I see my animation work as kinetic painting. I enjoy capturing the impulse of painting and drawing in digital space-time as well as in the physical space-time, for me they are not very different. I am able to reveal all layers on the continuum from the process of painting."

Red Drawing series: This work is primarily about color; the psychological landscape of a fabricated environment dominated by situational color. I wanted to describe a landscape that explored the relationship of an obvious change in perception due to a dramatic happening or event. Photographs in the work play on the boundaries of reality and fantasy.

Fingers, Mouth.

TRT: 00:05:20;00
Boys describe their navigation through the nooks and crannies of the female anatomy, providing the soundtrack for the filmmaker‚s own visual and manual explorations. Fingers wander through a shifting landscape of black holes, loopholes, and rabbit holes that might just lead to wonderland.
