CURRICULUM VITAE
STATEMENT
OTHERSPACE
Eleanna investigates aspects of quotidian experience that often fall outside of our common perceptual frame. In her diverse body of work, negative space becomes positive space, light becomes gesture, absence sparks abundance, sound reverses and divides, small scale expands. By exploiting the anatomy of space, Eleanna aims to sharpen the visceral experience of the everyday.The most recent work was created during her Spring 2011 residency at Anderson Ranch Arts Center. Upon first glance, the paintings appear to be discarded, crumpled sheets of paper. However, upon further examination, they simultaneously evoke the impression of an aerial view of snow-covered mountains. By creating paintings made of simple materials plaster and paint, Eleanna celebrates a medium used in ancient sculpture and Renaissance fresco painting with her own contemporary twist. Hung on the wall, the work takes on a casual, wonky posture. Falling somewhere between sculpture and painting, the pieces hover in imperfect shapes. Painted on the backside, the work emits a fluorescent glow reflecting off the wall. This glow further articulates Eleannas interests in magnetism, and something she calls otherspace, a space integral to our everyday life and simultaneously less considered.
