Alice Attie Exhibition
Howard Greenberg Gallery
This event has ended.
Known predominantly as a poet and for her drawings, the exhibition represents a rare showing of Alice Attie’s photography.
Intimate views of meadows form the basis of Attie’s series of photographs started four years ago in Iceland. Using a 1937 Rolleiflex camera that belonged to her father, Attie has also traversed fields in New Hampshire, upstate New York, and Central Park to ponder nature as visual poetry. Weeds, wildflowers, trees, grass and leaves, fill her lens and immerse the viewer.
Attie’s ink drawings involve the miniscule, and explore the territory between writing and drawing and where the two overlap. Engaging repetition, rhythm and gradual change, she allows tiny words, figures, numbers and images to accrue and grow on the paper. Whether presenting a landscape of numbers or a language that is not real, she is inspired to trespass over a threshold where language becomes something visual.
