Artists Mary Ann Strandell and Michael Rees are united by marriage and their shared vocation. Pushing beyond conventional norms, they enjoy thematic connections that explore the notion of "the wild." The artists approach this concept from distinct perspectives coupled with advanced technologies such as rapid prototyping, lenticular printing, and augmented reality to bring their artistic visions into discovery.

**TRANSIT TERRAIN**
**and OTHER SPATIAL NARRATIVES**
Bradbury Art Museum
July 13 - August 30, 2023

*Transit Terrain and Other Spatial Narratives* is a solo exhibition of artwork by painter-printmaker Mary Ann Strandell. Strandell’s work reaches beyond the barriers between artistic disciplines, allowing viewers to encounter a broad variety of methods and materials—from GIF animation to ink drawing to 3D lenticular media.
Lenticular media is created utilizing a printing technique that creates an illusion of depth or movement, allowing the viewer to perceive the image changing as they move around it.
Strandell’s studio practice combines technology with history. Computer software and high-tech printing practices are used to create lenticular prints from imagery that is at times personal photography, at others internet sourced, and often references historical objects or spaces. Her other works, meanwhile, are created using older materials such as oil paint or ink. These media have existed for over a thousand and over four thousand years, respectively. Paired with newer practices, such as lenticular printing or digital collage, they mimic the juxtaposition of imagery that can be found visually in Strandell’s work: the Rococo boiserie may be found existing in the same space as the Apple Store staircase. Ming vases occupy the museum along with images of Manhattan construction.
An installation titled *Reacquisition* is one of the focal points of the exhibition. It is a selection of oil paintings and lenticular media arranged over the top of a large-scale, ink wall drawing. Of it, Strandell writes, “The configuration of this main installation considers the inter-changing states of historic representation placed within this contemporary moment.”

“Breezeway” Installation, August 2021 to March 2022
ArtPort Kingston, NY
Originally installed for UPSTATE WEEKEND ART FAIR 2022

Curated by Laurie De Chiara

My second installation at Artport Kingston titled “Breezeway”combines ink and acrylic drawing, in situ, with a series of oil paintings and 3D Lenticular media. The large drawing is a classic 60s interior, a very retro living room with the TV screen centrally placed. The overall subject is one of comfort, a living space, not exotic but accessible. It is gracious and welcoming.The image serves as a backdrop to our societal relationship to states of quarantine and a place we might demarcate as in-between screen-time and dream-time.

The angles within the room and the picture plane reference modernist architectural feats, such as Meis Van Der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion which was considered an, “ideal zone of tranquility”. Multiple artworks reference screen-time as worlds within worlds- a time capsule. In the installation the lenticular works are comprised of historic architecture references, and other objects relating to the domicile, international trade memes, consumerism and travel.

Mary Ann Strandell's "Transit Portal" installation, combines a 40 foot wall drawing with (12) 3D lenticular print media. She brings together historical spaces of baroque, modernism, and post-modernism. With this she considers the multiple
viewing experience as a portal, akin to our computer/network user-world with the real, the fantastical, and the virtual as a
mash-up of a quarantined social connection.SEE: "Ripple Effect" group exhibition curated by Laurie De Chiara, director of ArtPort Kingston. June 27 - Autumn, 2020
