 The Work of Noelle Allen, C.C. Ann Chen and Ana Zanic, Curated by Susannah Papish
Beverly Arts Center, Chicago

Feb 20 - March 22 

East Gallery

Reception/Artist Talk: March 7, 6-8pm

Yesterday I delivered my work at the Beverly Art Center in Chicago, where I am showing my watercolors and ceramics in a three person show; together with two amazing artists - Noelle Allen and C.C. Ann Chen. 

The gallery is a beautiful space with an "industrial" feel, a high ceiling and lots of natural light from the frosted glass window-wall. 

"The Work of Noelle Allen, C.C. Ann Chen and Ana Zanic features "....experimental, interdisciplinary artwork that moves fluidly between different media and processes." (Allen)  Some of the intersections within the work of Noelle Allen, C.C. Ann Chen and Ana Zanic are the documentation of the impermanence of memory, landscape, structures and the body. Allen's work is tied to materials and process while exploring ideas of propagation. Chen's work stems from an interest in architecture and landscape, and the retranslation of place. She then uses these collected images in the studio to create pieces that potentially deconstruct or disrupt her original photographic documentation. Zanic brings an "intuitive, spontaneous" approach to her studio practice, "...investigat[ing] questions of memories, past, and origin.  Layers of washes form transparent surfaces, evok[ing] questions about life and universe." (Zanic)"
