Lynne Hovis Rotholtz
Jan 3 – Feb 2, 2019
“I value the exploration of abstraction. I’m striving to create something new—a new context. To me, these pieces are creatures from out of context. I love their weirdness, eeriness, uncanniness—the impression of movement. The pieces feel alive, maybe even a little scary. They have depth, like there might be more layers to it that are hidden. I like that the viewer can’t be sure that they’re perceiving the whole image. That if they blink something might change.”

Biography CV Statement
Drawing inspiration from an inheritance of a collector’s cache of vintage magazines and paper goods, Rotholtz’s mixed media collages transcend the typical boundaries of color, pattern, and line. Her work ends up being a form of targeted recycling—reconstructing new meaning from ephemeral objects. Unexpected collisions of pattern and mysterious shapes appear on the page, as if floating in mid-air. She uses the tactile nature of collage—the layers, the glue, the weight of the paper—to explore new dimensions in the medium.
