Label text from “The Art of Collecting: Contemporary Prints from the Risa Gerrig Collection,” September 10 – October 12, 2014:
Celmins interest in photorealism is often inspired from photographs and achieves a high level of detail, showcasing meticulous surface development and luminosity. A notable characteristic of her work, as seen in this print, is the lack of a point of reference, horizon, or distinguishable depth of field. In this untitled print stacked images of constellations, seascapes, and newspaper clippings create a series of jagged diagonals that drag the viewer’s eyes along a disjointed path leaving the viewer unsure of where one universe ends and another begins. The act of stacking drawings and other multimedia in this print also playfully references the care taken by Celmins to build up the surfaces of her works with layered marks. - Felicia Bolaske (B.A. ‘14)
