JAiME SCHOLNICK (JS) TIME AND TIMELESSNESS
Interview witH SHANA NYS DAMBROT (SND) The sculptural works by Los Angeles artist Jaime Scholnick represented in Transform articulate a vision in which the conceptual and the aesthetic coalesce into singular objects which the artist regards as artifacts of this moment in time and civilization. Motivated both by a fascination with and an urge for the degradation of our culture of mass consumerism, her deployment of a kind of rococo folk-art density of pattern literally transforms the compellingly eccentric topographies of styrofoam packaging into delightful, obsessive, unlikely totems. Part painting, part sculpture, part architectural installation and part visual puzzle, Scholnick appreciates the feeling the viewer gets when they look at her pieces, recognizing that they have seen them before, yet are truly seeing them for the first time.
