Recent Portraits by Heather Boose-Weiss
Curated by Andreis Costa

Opening reception: Thursday, November 16th, 2006

Heather Boose-Weiss, a graduate of the School of Visual Arts is currently living and working in Greenwich, Connecticut. For the past several years the artist has focused on narrative portraits following in the tradition of Peter Beard and Francesca Woodman. Traveling across the globe the artist introduces herself into magnificent environments from the glaciers of Norway to the plains of Africa in an attempt to create a visual poetry between natural traces and the human body. The artist often dresses in costume or paints her skin to create these poems. Characterized by ideas of fragmentation with an interest in manipulating ideas of peoples appendage or skin, which serve to distort and dislocate some of our preconceived notions, walking the line between fiction and reality. Some more direct then others; the artist makes comments on what is authentic and how nature changes with our every step. The work, at times playful seems to harbor an ominous edge. “This is what I come with and this is what I leave with.” The artist says about her process of bringing herself and the camera and leaving with the capture image. The work is about finding a place in the finite and the infinite and the relentless pressures put on a denatured world.

The artists will be featured in an upcoming exhibition at Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts in February 2007. www.kathleencullenfinearts.com
