photo: Deborah Carroll AnzingerDeborah Carroll Anzinger works in her beautiful, light filled apartment. There's a border of blue painter's tape that demarcates her work space. It made me think of the orthodox Jewish Eruv, a symbolic "walled" courtyard dilineated with string to mark an area as private.
I loved seeing her notes and sketches pinned to the wall, along with drawings by other artists (including her daughter) and a vintage child's dress hanging on a line by the window. It was great to see her work in progress, including a geometric shape made from stretch bars with canvas over it,a 3D painting that looked like a tree-covered mountain. She also showed us a series of painting experiments with text. Her work juxtaposes nostalgia and a sort of opposite, rational mindset: "I am interested in the picture plane functioning somewhere between a chart and an image, incorporating common symbols and gestures associated with objective analytical studies with imagery from snapshots."
