Haskell has chosen decomposition as a subject matter and as an analogy for their drawing practice. Haskell has drafted studies of the unwanted and the undesired, with each composition beginning as a detailed ink drawing of a chosen element found in nature, some of these studies become decomposed and broken down into abstractions, where they transform from the sketchbook into installations. Decomposed is a body of work that exists as an elegant visual representation of the uncontrollable and undesirable, from small detailed ink drawings to large irregular pattern of specimens as well as a site-specific installation, the viewer will experience the uncanny in a curious and aesthetic manner.
The opening reception for Decomposed will be held on Saturday February 1st from six to nine p.m. Viewing after the reception is by appointment. Please contact Chris Lucius at tiartstudios@gmail.com
While courses within the Department of Art and Art History were conducted remotely throughout the Fall 2020 semester, faculty and students took advantage of public art spaces and exhibits around New York City as creative influences for their projects.
