Artists Liz Nofziger and Todd Fairchild swap dimensions for increment + inversion, the upcoming show at the Atlantic Works Gallery. Liz, a site-specific installation artist, is presenting 2 dimensional work including a series of drawings and an animation investigating simultaneous growth and decay through the evolution of the classic Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. And Todd, a photographer, has moved into the third dimension to work with ladders, salt, pennies and more to look at the parts that make up the whole.
Todd Fairchild
Ladders are a standard symbol for progress, and in this body of work, they
reinforce the principle that forward movement requires individual steps.
The subject is the fantastic leap from a single step to massive accumulation
and our inability to consider total and the unit simultaneously.
Liz Nofziger
As Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head gain exotic limbs, they move equally toward their
demise. This work is built of simple steady observation over time from
a single perspective, along with a more spontaneous drawn scrutiny of the
detailed evolution of the mutating pair.
