Joy Machine is pleased to announce its second exhibition, Then there was everythingIt includes works before Paul Q. Brezzand David Casand Laura Cathmodand Yelina Jamesand Jeremy Mirandaand Jeffly Gabriella MolinaAnd Anna Ortiz. An opening reception ceremony It will be held from 6 to 9 pm on April 18.
Then there was everything His name takes from the opening line of Richard Powers novel ExaggerationThe readers investigators in an interconnected winding narration were seized in tree hints. Powers writes that “a good answer must be re -invented several times, from scratch”, a feeling that each artist is uniquely looking through drawing, ceramic sculpture and words. When repeating the natural decorations, these artists benefit from ourselves to discover repeated messages at home.

An unfamiliar introduction has always been a way to investigate the hidden feelings that have been ignored, and each artist shows a common topic apparently as a call to stop and look at home.
In the paper vessels of Briggs, the frequent motifs are the key to balance. The artist uses a technique he calls “manually” and works in a “very firm but soft process.” From one clay ball, a small dynamic frizzy frizzy surrounds the walls of the bowl because it finds a contemplative balance in both its mind and the sculptures itself.
Although it works on an intimate scale, Cass enlarges out and draws wavy waves on antique boxes, fancy boxes, rollers, and more than that, a group of 14 of which is installed in Joy Machine. The visual strikes of the horizon paint are determined in some pieces, while others are completely steeped in the curved lines. Interested in transporting the effects of the heating planet and ascending water, Cass uses re -containers with the human equation of material restrictions as metaphors of our collective boundaries to adapt.
In the tempting James paintings, thick ecosystems leak from the edge to the edge. Seeking to achieve an ideal balance that becomes a “kind of compulsive meditation”, the artist draws sensitive environments and other environments that arouse both the land and the sea. Catwood remains in the case of uncertainty because it makes hybrid creatures with great decorations. The objects you welcome, coated with soft brush goods, have become accompanying to explore the secrets of life and adapt to their courses.

Ortiz, too, evokes the stranger in “Reflexión”, a desert scene that is transmitted with a pair of aloe vera plants under Eclipse reflected on Texcoco Lake. The saturated and limited color palette makes the time of the day a mysterious and helps create a surreal border land where the dried lake is still now. Mixing memory and imagination, Ortez relies on her grandparents’ communications and puts the twin Agizes as a way to consider unrealized fate.
Miranda and Molina are wrestling with similar questions as they use moments of moments and spaces. Note is at the heart of Miranda’s works, and the ethereal traits of light are harnessed to throw familiar spaces again. In his hands, the pocket of the modest forests or modest fire becomes like a dream, which pushes questions from the perspective and how we understand our relationships with the settings that surround us.
For Molina, the flap of yellow butterflies and mirror parrot are communication and care symbols. Insects with bright colors are accompanied by a picture of the artist’s mother as a child in “Our Castle Mother You will not be made of sand”, while “Misericordia” evokes a long place. “… did you know that shine and gold have come out of fashion, and that your prostitution no longer remembers itself?” Says a poem at work. , Which refers to a pet Jeddah Molina and the ways that the Companions give a form to the self.
