Lived:Living Exhibition at the Las Cruces Museum of Art, New Mexico June- August 2011
Lived:Living Exhibition at the Lawrence Arts Center, Kansas December 2011-January 2012
The collaboration between New Mexican artist Isadora Stowe and New York based artist Jordon Schranz poses an inquiry into how our society experiences the ideas of family; both the day-to-day as well as the attachment to personal history and the relationship to lost members. They have separated the gallery space into two symmetrical halves representing the physical manifestation of the binary nature of their subjects and their unique approaches with the idea of family and familial history.
Isadora Stowe My work follows the personal narrative of the day-to-day family environment and explores how experiences can become visually transformed into coded, complex landscapes. Here, small animals, birthday cakes and balloons float and hang in seemingly infinite and , simultaneously, physically contradicting space. The themes manifest as an otherworldly illustration of the complex relationships between home, marriage, and family identity.
