There were so many high-quality artists being shown at Volta, but Sinta Werther’s work at the Nettie Horn Gallery booth stood out to me.
The Broken Bits of Pieces use glass, lightbulbs, and mirrors to reflect carefully painted scenes, but they are less scenes as suggestions of place.
These Autoprojections, above and below, are done on photographic paper with paint, and as you can kind of see in the image below, the paper has also been folded.
Apparently these are small-scale examples of her preoccupation with bending space and begging the view the question reality and perception, and some very cool examples of large-scale manipulations can be found on Volta’s page dedicated to the artist.
