"Souvenirs: A Reflection of Memory" curated by Llisa Demetrios, chief curator of the Eames Institute.
"This exhibition delves into how we document and convey our surroundings to maintain a sense of our own internal landscape. When we take photos of surroundings, paint, or write about them in stories, songs, or poetry, time slows down to embrace that moment. Memories emerge and connections deepen. The past is always present."

ORION MAGAZINE< SPRING 2021 ISSUE:
I am honored to be a part of the project “Wish You Were Here: Postcards From the Future” currently featured in Orion Magazine’s Spring 2021 issue! A few years ago, my friend and fellow artist, @jessica.gath and her friend and artist, Sharlene Leurig, approached several of us about this endeavor. In their words: “We invited other artists- people who process the world through making– to create their own postcards in the face of the naked truths of climate change. We asked them to join us in a written and visual chorus to the young people dearest to us and to everyone on earth now and in the future.”

Writing about the San Francisco Art Scene
SFMOMA Artists Gallery Group Show:
Mirang Wonne, Jenn Shifflet, Kathryn St. Clair

January 17th, 2011

The SFMOMA Artists Gallery at Fort Mason is an incredible non-profit gallery affiliated with one of the most dynamic modern and contemporary art museums in the United States. The gallery is both a reputable and affordable way to enjoy original works of art, and remains a critical resource for the entire arts community. Their exhibitions provide the San Francisco arts community with an incredible array of insightful exhibitions to view, and over twelve hundred emerging, mid career and fully acomplished artists a space to exhibit their work. This past Thursday the SFMOMA Artists Gallery opened their group exhibition with Mirang Wonne, Jenn Shifflet, and Kathryn St Clair: three local artists who interpret the term landscape very differently in various media.

There is a definite delicacy to Mirang Wonne‘s artwork, but only at the surface. Wonne’s stain-less steel mesh banners float down from the ceiling, creating a ghost-like presence in the gallery, but their coloring and deft draftsmanship of bursting abstractions similar to chrysanthemums made by a torch create strong statements of beauty and demand an engagement with its viewer.

Jenn Shifflet‘s paintings create fantastic landscapes using only a slight array of oils on panel. They could be interpreted a variety of ways: adapting the undulating cloud patterns found abundantly in traditional Asian art, with what I see as the modern fantasy Asian pop-art connotations, they could be interpreted as cloudscapes, abstractions of stardust and other nuances of a dreamscape, ripples on the surface of a pond, or simply powerful interpretations of a conglomeration of them all.

Kathryn St Clair also paints deceptively placid figurative landscape designs, mostly waterscapes amid verdant forests. Any notion of safe subject matter is upthrown with her non-traditional color palette of oranges, purples and fuschias, her texture and abstraction of the skies, and the swampy, dripping spots of atypical colors and soft, but not quite accurate reflections in the landscape, capturing that moment before abstraction. When combined with her use of silhouettes, similar to the early arts and crafts modernism of the 1920s, it truly brings her artwork to a level of great significance.
