Carrie Johnson “Stratus Lift”

A.I.R. Gallery

This event has ended.

In the exhibition Stratus Lift, New York artist Carrie Johnson translates photographs of landscape, disaster sites, and cityscapes into formal compositions of line and color. Man-made and organic structures and scenes provide a guide for textural mark-making and composition. Johnson arranges these images into collages where the natural world and human footprint are in conversation. Repeating and modifying these shapes, she constructs a scale-less space that pines for harmony, as documentary details dissolve into simpler shapes. Each globular mass is an irreplaceable node in the canvas’ ecosystem.
