Soft City: Kelley & Ping by artist Marilyn Henrion. Digitally manipulated photography, inkjet printing on cotton, hand quilted. Anodized aluminum hanging bars included (invisible from front). As a native New Yorker, the artist created this series of works to represent her personal take on the city, revealing its soft side, with unexpected visual treats lurking around every corner. Once Gotham’s hard unyielding surfaces are peeled back, the beautiful and complex patina of each facade is illuminated. These mixed media works represent a fusion of past and present. Ancient needlework techniques are combined with digitally manipulated photography and inkjet printing to create works of art that reflect contemporary aesthetic sensibilities. The presence of the hand stitching both animates the surfaces of the works and, at the same time, softens and humanizes the urban geometry by the irregular qualities of texture inherent in the materials and construction.
