A world of color and chaos is how I would describe stockholders work. I love her use of color, it feels as she put it "uncontrolled". Like many artist she likes to work alone, in peace...although her installations arent peaceful at all. Perhaps there is already too much noise in her own head. Stockholders use of intuition plays a big role in the completion of her piece. When one doesn't know how a piece is going to look when finished, one must rely mostly on their intuition to ensure the outcome desired.
Stockholder's installtion piece at Mitchell-Innes and Nash in 2006 was absolutely beautiful. Her use of everyday mundane items such a ls a typewriter, canvas folding chair, a wooden piece of furniture, shower curtains and light bulbs make for an ironically very un-mundane piece. I think that is what I most like about Stockholder. She has the ability to make ordinary every day items look extraordinary.
I agree with your analysis. She tries to create something "original".
ReplyDeleteAnd...How? By doing what? Get into it and dissect the work. Does she succeed? If so on what level? What are the short comings of the work if any? Don't hold back. Your observations are valid.
