Jody Erickson "Rock Meeting" 2011
Jody Erickson's paintings have a restrained, mysterious elegance to them. I think it's because she's so good with placement, leaving plenty of space between the various elements of her curious tableaux. It all feels almost reverentially measured; Pagan Zen, if you will. The piece above of course makes me think of the sumptuous film Picnic at Hanging Rock, but the candles and ember-tinged sky add a ritualistic atmosphere making this gathering seem even more coven-esque.
