ONE HUNDRED DAYS OF WINTER
March 31 - April 29, 2012
Opening Reception: March 31, 6 - 9PM
For Immediate Release
AG
Gallery/About Glamour in Williamsburg is pleased to present a solo
exhibition,
“One Hundred Days of Winter,” by Rachelle Tolwin. All the
works are from her project in this winter
which is the document of her
daily creation process on a mountain days.
Rachelle Tolwin’s tumblr blog description reads:
“this
will be my first winter living on a mountain in the Catskill mountain
state
park. I plan to document each day of the winter with art that I
made that day.
Some days may be really cold. Some days there may be no
internet access.
I will still make something regardless of the
conditions and post it
when I am connected to the world-wide web and all
of you.”
Rachelle
moved to a remote area of the Catskill Mountains with her husband, Chaim, last Summer from Brooklyn.
She looked to the Winter as a time to
reflect and focus on art and decided to start
www.onehundreddaysofwinter.tumblr.com.
Her daily artwork chronicles this
time through playful, introspective work clearly inspired by
her new
surroundings and connection with nature.
Most of the work in one hundred
days of winter is on paper, with gouache, watercolor and collage.
There
are a few photographs that help situate her setting.
The title of the
show may suggest images of snow and a white landscape, but these types
of images do not dominate the show.
One reason may be there was not as
much snow as expected this year.
Most of the works are colorful and
reflect the inward and outward journey Rachelle experienced.
The work
in this show presents a mystical, whimsical landscape that Rachelle
lives in or imagines.
