QUAND CESSERONT VOS TRAITS...

Quand cesseront vos traits de la prendre pour cible, ce coeur que vous fites sensible et dont vous n'avez pas pitié, Seigneur? Ah! sauvez-nous de l'amour impossible et de la déserte amitié! Paul Géraldy (1885-1983)

A Menagerie of Contemplative Animals by Mila Zemliakova Weave Textile Traditions and Nature

Anonymous female specimen by Michael Mapes

Artist Michael Mapes uses an eclectic mix of materials—cosmetic samples, fingernail clippings, glass vials, fake eyelashes, nail polish, handwriting samples, feathers, pantyhose, hair strands, pill capsules—to create images

By using scientific terminology—materials are “biographical DNA,” sources are “pharmaceutical,” artworks named with “specimen”—Mapes characterizes his works as structured investigations of visual culture. He once described himself as having “the spirit of a painter—in a lab coat,” and it is precisely with this perspective that Mapes builds a complex body of works.
