stephanie snider's paintings and collaged drawings are clean, sharply executed and her use of pictorial space and materials is ingenious. visit her site to see her more awesome paintings and sculpture. of her work, she writes...
trace sites of personal and collective memories: they map anxiety, confusion, obsessive sorts of love, puzzles, nostalgia and the tricks our minds play on us. The use of narrative is present but not prescribed, yet tonalities of disengagement are articulated, underscoring a dark thread of sadness and melancholy.
