Anna Glazer

Underestimated Storage Issues

In UNDERESTIMATED STORAGE ISSUES, Glazer returns to her roots in painting with a paired down, linear installation. A wall drawing of an imaginary space suggests a complicated overlapping of pipes or beams, a basement-plumbing nightmare or room-sized climbing gym. Glazer combines diverse elements from a wide array of sources such as architecture, ancient textiles, circuitry, dreams and old manuscripts to construct illusionistic spaces that defy easy categorization. Mazelike corridors and hidden nooks beckon the viewer to enter and explore.

Constructed with artist's tape, Glazer works free hand and without preparatory drawings. The image evolves out of a stream of conscious practice resulting in a precarious and twisted space that flips between perspectives, scale, illusion and patterning. An interior dreamscape of spaces within spaces, Glazer's wall drawings are both beautiful and unsettling.
