Homestead, 1999, Latex on PVC, 10 x 30 ft. and 10 x 20 ft. Venetia Kapernekas Fine Arts, New York, NY. Two opposing, yet connected illusionistic spaces: a rustic early American interior and a forest. Black and pearlescent lines and blobs coalesce into image from a distance and dissolve into abstraction up close.

I peered through an open door and saw Cadence Giersbach’s Homestead: two very large, very strange paintings that took up both walls of a very long, very narrow room. Each was constructed out of carefully arranged, mainly blue blobs and dots; each neat, each the same, pointillism for Chelsea – one an interior scene and one a wooded grove. Although made for the gallery walls, they can be shifted and changed in size – although nothing is to be discarded. So they are site specific, specific to this site, but amenable to other sites…Unravel a thread so your escape is possible once your eyes have stopped popping and your head swimming in one long, thin, vibrating room. A compulsive show.
