DESCRIPTION Acrylic ink on muslin | 2019 In this new body of work, Teschner returns to Key West, drawing on both the language of wood joinery and the extensive palette of a lush tr opical landscape. Within these stitched sculptures, the scale fluctuates from board to building. In her words ,“A house itself grows from seed”. "I paid a lot of attention to the balance between growing plants and the build environment. The way that the leaves of a palm would exceed the width of an entire home, and how this atypical ratio struck me as more suitable to living. The wild growth built additional volumes onto the layout of neighborhoods, and borders between properties became as indistinct as the shape of the shoreline surrounding the island.” DIMENSIONS 34 x 22 inches FRAMED DIMENSIONS Floated: 39 x 27 x 2 inches AUTHENTICATION The work comes with a Certification of Authenticity signed and numbered by the Co-Founder of Tappan In this piece I cut up watercolors I did in South Africa and collaged them into a scene reminiscent of both the White House and a plantation. I was thinking of it as a symbolic act of stealing what was made in Africa, then destroyed, displaced, and dispersed into America. Studio Visit Q. What influences you? A. Architects. Hindu Time.
