On #WorldEnvironmentDay, we're spotlighting Mark Tansey's impressive Yosemite Falls (Homage to Watkins), 1993

Tansey's densely imaginative canvases are the result of a labor-intensive process. Using a huge trove of collected material, including his own photographs and magazine clippings, he manipulates, crops, combines, and photocopies the forms. His collages serve as studies for large, monochromatic oil paintings, whose precise photographic quality is achieved by applying gesso and then washing, brushing, and scraping paint into it.

Join us and the students of CEE32H: Responsive Structures for a discussion around their incredible projects tomorrow at 12noon ☝

The students are exploring how to “grow” their structural systems into a large-scale assemblages. Using slender hardwood dowels and Amaike Super organza fabric, which weighs just 5 grams per meter! Their full-scale installation is currently in front of the Anderson through June 5th!
