"The All Saints Show"
2009-02-13 until 2009-03-08
Barton Gallery
Sacramento, CA,
USA United States of America
TZ Productions presents the All Saints Show at Barton Gallery in Sacramento, a group exhibition, which opened on February 13. The show remains on view through March 8, 2009. The artwork in this show, all by Sacramento artists, runs the gamete from traditional painting and mixed media to digital work and sculpture. Ann Tracy is exhibiting two new digital photo-collages in the show. Tracy has been a Premiere Portfolio Artist at absolutearts.com since 2000. She explains, My work explores identity issues, chance as an element in art and the Dada concept of collage, but on a digital level based on my photography, digital painting and found imagery. I consider digital collage as the alchemy of our day.
Tracy continues, We take base metal in the form of images with one meaning, and then by adding or subtracting data we create something with new meanings, sometimes readily apparent other times not. In some of my work I weave in portions of images of myself which further implicate my view of the world. I have a tendency to gravitate toward strong colors which fuel the emotions behind the worlds I create in art.
Currently I am working on a series entitled Power: Lines & Shapes which will form the basis for a one-woman show this coming January. The work consists of large scale lambda prints of photographs of power lines and transformers blended digitally to focus on how ordinary elements can become something else and also a study in shape, color and mass. I have always been fascinated by the machinery of electricity upon which I depend so much for my art.
