Artist-in-Residence: Carrie Pollack

Knit, 2009, Pigment Print on Linen

Carrie Pollack describes her work as an investigation between the notions of permanence and impermanence, as well as uncertainty and contradiction. She deliberately intends her work to function “more as conversations than as statements”. Her imagery can often appear both familiar and unknown, spanning both abstraction and representation. She thinks of the process of making of her work as the evidence of momentary fragments in a constant state of transformation. These fragmented moments possessed a mysterious complexity, revealing a different way of looking at the world around us, becoming visual metaphors, parts of a language. She uses her work to contemplate the complexity of the human experience.
