- Additional Information -
The Fischbach Gallery presents an exhibition of figurative holograms by Ana Maria Nicholson. Nicholson has spent twenty years researching the technique of holography and developing her aesthetic expression within the medium.
A statement by the artist describes her inspiration and approach:
"The central theme of my work as an artist has always been the human figure. When carefully observed the body is but a thin shield, a permeable membrane that can obscure but not obliterate the psychological and spiritual dimensions of each person.
In my portraits I strive to portray what the sitter is behind the facade of personality. In a holographic portrait the artist and the sitter are, for brief moments, surrounded by laser light, a light since 1960, never before seen in our planet. This special event often allows for an opening into a person's deep being, recorded for 20 nanoseconds on the holographic plate. William James wrote: 'All around us lie infinite worlds, separated only by the thinnest veils.' In my new series I combine different exposures of the figure to explore the human longing for integration in the psychic and spiritual realms that release us into a state unlimited by boundaries."
The Fischbach Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 to 5:30.
