New Exhibition: Fugue State, Paintings by Catharine Fichtner

The artist states: “I am interested in memory deficits, personal and cultural dysfunction, and how we piece together not only our personal stories but the myths and cultures created over millennia.

A few years ago, I started using clothing pattern schematics as an armature to play with abstract painting techniques and narration. The schematics function as puzzle pieces, allowing me to play with formal elements that reference the complexity, layering, confusion, and intricacies of human memory.”
