Douglas Degges and MaryKate Maher Exhibition February 5 through March 11 2021

DOUGLAS DEGGES & MARYKATE MAHER FEBRUARY 5 - MARCH 11

The PrattMWP Gallery is pleased to host Douglas Degges and MaryKate Maher in an exciting two-person exhibition.

DOUGLAS DEGGES BIO + ARTIST STATEMENT

Douglas Degges received his MFA from the University of Iowa and his BA from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN. His work has recently been exhibited at Side Room Gallery in Brooklyn, NY, the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, Night Light Gallery in Chicago, IL, Vanderbilt University and Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN, VERSA in Chattanooga, TN, Atlanta Contemporary in Atlanta, GA, Yellow Door Gallery in Des Moines, IA, and Ely Center of Contemporary Art in New Haven, CT. His work has been supported by several artist residencies including the Josef & Anni Albers Foundation, the Vermont Studio Center, and the Millay Colony.

ARTIST STATEMENT At a time when we have immediate access to anything, from sourcing information on the internet to our ability to capture and store images at a moment’s notice, analogue processes seem well poised for critically engaging newer forms of visual expression. In my own studio practice, I find painting and drawing to be great vehicles for slowing down and reflecting on the speed at which images are produced and consumed. Many of my paintings begin as small works on paper, the majority of which are made by sifting through piles of painted paper and found printed and photographic material. The pieces come together through a cut and paste collage process and many are later translated onto a painting surface through projection or some other transfer process.

ARTIST STATEMENT Degges, continued

In many cases, these larger works aspire to do little more than explore a drawing as a facsimile at a larger scale. The paint sits on the surface of these larger works just like it does in the drawings, with similar opacity and body, and points to the drawing much like a printed photograph points to a digital file or film negative. In other cases, the larger works begin with a thick and textured layer of plaster-like material that is then sealed andpainted. The painting that happens on top of this highly textured surface rarely and only incidentally acknowledges the surface it sits on. I’m interested in how the imagery, that top layer of paint, has to be grafted onto the surface, as if the surface is designed to reject it. In this way, the painted image, the skin, is actually at odds with the bones of the painting.

All of the works included in this exhibition are a part of a recent project: a squirrel from memory. The smaller works on paper are more literal and time-intensive translations of printed photographic images, mostly of the northern Louisiana landscape, fish, small game, rodents, and pests. These photographic images are digitally prepared, occasionally collaged, and present a far more articulated visual language than the paintings. The drawings are my way of studying an image and internalizing form. The paintings are either crafted from memory with whatever is held onto from the drawing process or approached in a fast paced and painterly way, much like a study. I'm particularly interested in how the paintings undo the drawings and am thinking about how these disparate modes of inquiry might posit "the work" somewhere in between the paintings and the drawings. This requires some averaging or leveling across the visually and materially divergent objects that comprise a squirrel from memory. My hope is that the viewer, with sustained engagement with the work, can visualize something that exists in that liminal space.

MARYKATE MAHER BIO + ARTIST STATEMENT

MaryKate Maher was born in Philadelphia, PA in 1979. She received her MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 2004 and her BFA from Arcadia University in 2001. She studied at the Glasgow School of Art from 1999-2000 and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2008. Maher has received fellowships from Franconia Sculpture Park, New York Foundation for the Arts, The MacDowell Colony, Yaddo and Socrates Sculpture Park.

Exhibitions have included A.I.R. Gallery, NY, Tiger Strikes Asteroid, NY, Spring/Break Art Show, NY, Interstate Projects, NY, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, PA, NURTUREart, NY, Franconia Sculpture Park, MN, with international exhibitions at Kunstwerk Carlshutte, Germany and Takt Berlin/Leipzig,Germany. Her work has been written about in Artsy, Brooklyn Magazine, Hyperallergic, L Magazine and BOMB. Maher lives in Brooklyn, NY.

ARTIST STATEMENT The genesis of my practice lies in researching and mining the textures of nature and the post-industrial landscape. I fabricate objects to resemble smooth riverrocks, sections of concrete, chunks of marble and knotted wood burls, incorporating a heterogeneous blend of man-made and naturally occurring debris.

These fabricated objects become foundational to my sculptural process.

ARTIST STATEMENT Maher, continued

Industrial materials mimic organic forms in my work: a carved salt-lick takes on the qualities of sculpted marble, a discarded Styrofoam chunk is actually cast from high-grade statuary resin. I use balance and hidden supports to create these illusions, resulting in objects that defy the limits of weight and gravity. These forms cling and lean on each other for mutual support. Many of my works contain inlaid c-prints of diffused voids comprised of broken surfaces and out-of-focus gradients.

These elements become elusive moments of visual vibration, which resist the definition of foreground and background; instead, they animate and obscure the surfaces on which they are placed.

My practice is rooted in an enduring interest in cairns, balancing rocks, sitemarkers and totems. Evoking a sense of intervention in the landscape, these structures have the quality of a “temporary fix.” Such artifacts exhibit care in their craftsmanship, which is delicate but not precious. Monoliths are shimmed from beneath to help straighten them out, and the stacking of cairns demonstrates a singular aesthetic in contrast to their practicality. Many small movements combine to create a larger, voluminous structure. My work tends toward arrangements that are “coercive” in some sense. They are symbiotic but not agreeably so. One element supports another in a tentative yet cohesive relationship.
