Transient Spaces explores symbiotic dualities: impermanence by its nature implies a stay of some length, and likewise, where there is weightlessness there must be solidity, and where there is change, there must be stability. Nature is our ultimate model of “ever” “changing”-yet-always-there. So our own human natures are elemental yet kinetic. Transient Spaces includes textural abstract paintings by Rozita Fogelman and mixed-media conceptual sculpture by Leah Markos.

Rozita Fogelman - Mixed media painter

Rozita Fogelman is a multi-disciplinary media artist originally from Tbilisi, Georgia. In the past twenty years, my artwork grew out of a need to tell stories of vulnerability and compassion. My recent work: Body, Land and Water is my attempt to create a metaphor addressing the need to reconnect these core elements of water and earth. In Hebrew, Body, Land and Water: אדם, דם, אדמה—all elements are coexists in balance as one collective living consciousness.  rozita.posterous.com 

Leah Markos - Sculptor/Installation Artist 

“Our egos, relationships, and consumerist lifestyles combine in ever shifting combinations that pervade and shape thought and feeling. In my sculptural works, simple evocative forms adorned with multiple stylized teats toy with the wavering line between comfort and coldness. A related sense of thwarted promise is made solid in some works, as seen in blunt, heavy shapes to be carried as burdens, but embedded with cores of more complex or beautiful materials. These pieces both lament and celebrate. Other works simply illustrate obstacle or difficulty, with an occasional underlying call to notice what we use, discard, create and ruin.”  --Leah Markos
