Artist Statement

While paper is often a delicate form associated with a thin surface, I am finding ways to present its conceptual depth. In addition to cuttings, I often add fine-line drawings to re-script the story. Since the encounter with text has now become mostly an onscreen experience, I am tunneling into vintage hardbound texts to explore the dubious future of the book itself, trying to imagine what it might be like for books to undergo a kind of adaptation for survival.

My work expresses the idea of the story, fable, or tale, attempting to sort out the past and create new beginnings. How these stories have affected me and my culture is represented through a combination of book and animal sculptures, drawings and writings. I am artificially reimagining things in a handmade wilderness.

SCENIC ROUTE

katherine — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:30:56 -0400

Take a vacation in the city and join us for the opening reception of Scenic Route at Tinlark Gallery on Saturday, June 27, 6-9pm.

Scenic Route explores that sense of discovery and wonder we
all experience on vacation but somehow lose once we return
to our hectic everyday lives in Los Angeles. Artists Ana Serrano,
Katherine Siy and Sarah Stephens, all graduates of Art Center
School of Design, celebrate the amazing little signifiers of our
citified existence, the unique architecture, old signs, and miraculously
adaptable flora and fauna, that go unnoticed as we lead overly-scheduled,
hyper-stimulating lives.

Ana Serrano

is a first generation Mexican-American born in Los Angeles
in 1983. Deriving inspiration from her cultural heritage, Serrano creates
work utilizing a variety of mediums including drawing, collage, sculpture,
and motion. Her work references lives lived in lower socio-economic
positions, with particular interest paid to specific customs and beliefs, as
well as the architecture, fashion, and informal economies present within
this segment of society.

Katherine Siy

grew up experiencing the simple secluded life on the island
of Batanes where technologies we take for granted -- electricity, cellphones,
computers -- are unavailable, but where interpersonal relationships thrive.
Siy's work explores the complexities of the techno-centric lives we've built
around ourselves by placing organic characters denatured by color and pattern
into defined spaces that emphasize their emotional solitude.

Sarah Stephens

is inspired by the photographs she takes during her travels,
as well as photos from the Los Angeles neighborhood where she lives. Her
paintings celebrate the often overlooked, everyday places that people pass
a million times in their busy lives without ever noticing. She feels compelled
to document these buildings and signs before they are replaced by condos or
parking lots and lost forever.

Scenic Route runs June 27 through July 25. For more information, please
contact Cris McCall at cris@tinlark.com. Limited parking is available in
the Crossroads of the World parking lot during the opening reception.The
gallery is open Fridays & Saturdays, 12-5, and by appointment.
