PUBLIC MARKS with search wrought

Michel Mazzoni e-mailed me today with a selection of images from his series' Zones & Fragments Theories. In both these projects, Mazzoni explores the landscape as a place wrought with social alienation. Figures are situated in the landscape as sculptures, often dwarfed by vast and anonymous spaces.

I would also recommend looking through his series Interstices, which has a number of nice images.

Suggested by the black, wrought iron fences that coil about the trunks of her trees, her art feels akin to that moment in the story when the children realize they have become lost in a wood. The trees embody the best of both worlds – they remain grounded via their roots and the artist’s skill, plus they stretch their branches to discover a rather hallucinatory bliss.
