The Body of My Geography
Cathia Finkel
Some Facts Remain
Elayne Greeley
Dates Showing: November 23rd - December 20th, 2002
Cathia Finkel uses digital photography and collage to explore the idea of
cartography. Starting from the physical geography, Finkel layers images of
maps, text, small sculptural figures and found objects onto large abstracted
casts of female bodies. Greeley paints women moving through domestic spaces.
Concerned with ideas of fragmentation and fragility of memories, Greeley
layers her surfaces with stream of consciousness writing and conversations
with subjects (who choose the space and activities they are represented as
engaged in). This is her attempt to mark/demarcate personal history through
her own relationships.
