As a collector of ephemera, one finds beauty in the everyday.
Christopher Wynter.
Also, during the weekend we got to visit one of our favorite local artists Christopher Wynter. His paintings and sculptures are filled with subtle representational images, ideograms and cultural symbols. He was also commissioned by the MTA to create this mosaic installation found at the 110th Street / Cathedral Parkway Station.
Miranda Maher.
One of the highlights of the Arts Under the Bridge Festival was a visit to Miranda Maher’s studio. Miranda is captivated by birds, which are pervasive in her work. I really enjoyed the smartness of the series called Geometry, where the apparently random flight of birds are paired with mathematical diagrams and her installation Oneiric Oology is at once beautiful, delicate and thought provoking.
