Never, as Always

Marcy Adzich – 2010

The exhibition Never, as Always presents the sculptural work of Marcy Adzich in a delightful series that engages unconventionally with the traditional painting themes of still life, portraiture and landscape as subject matter.

Using these themes as a starting point, Adzich has developed work that slips through the constraints differentiating art and commodity, and the distinctions between object and display. By simultaneously juxtaposing an array of materials which may be considered precious or cheap, beautiful or distasteful, Adzich creates three dimensional tableaux that explore the imperfection of the pursuit of beauty and insinuate themselves into a larger perspective about desire and possession. Never, as Always reveals the interplay between scene and situation, still life and landscape, abstraction and representation, revealing unexpected configurations of beauty and place.
