Tinsquo’s curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents I Ate the Tender Heart of a Lettuce and It Gave Me an Unprecedented Strength: Cyanotypes by Michaela Coffield.
With these works Portland-based Michaela Coffield furthers her ongoing collaboration with the sun, producing an intuitively-coherent narrative series of cyanotypes that verify the pursuit of delight is no trivial matter and that the imagination is an evolving habitable realm.
The artist states:
“What do you make when it’s Summer and you’re out of school? Something that isn't for your teachers, or classmates, or an institution, or your thesis. Something that’s for you. Something you can make outside in your backyard that doesn’t require fancy things like presses or looms or mountains of research, just sun print paper, tracing paper, ink and the radio.“In the Summer, I make sun prints because the Sun is out. In the Summer, I think in blue.”
I Ate the Tender Heart of a Lettuce and it Gave Me an Unprecedented Strength: Cyanotypes by Michaela Coffield runs through December 7 and is on view at the Adjacent to Life pop-up gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City).
