Reed Danziger: Inelastic Collision

Reed Danziger’s works are given new expanse in this, her 6th show at Hosfelt Gallery. As her swirls of imagery take to large planes of unmounted paper, often made even bigger by being joined in diptychs and triptychs, her signature intense visual vocabulary is balanced by open, white space.

Within each page cosmic games of connect-the-dots are beset by bursts of pigment that respond to the activity of systems in flux. Geometric structures attempt to shepherd the organic play of her watercolor drips and washes. And silhouettes of wild flora take root in the energy of the exchange.

The space around Danziger’s clusters imparts special laws of gravity, allowing her forms an ability to coalesce and converge despite what seems an ever-expanding page. Varied visual elements fold and flex, combine and contort in a manner not unlike the self-devouring Ouroboros, defining the infinite.
