Audrey McSorley

Visual Art – Atlanta

Audrey is an artist who works in a variety of media. Through a radically singular approach that is nevertheless inscribed in the contemporary debate, Audrey seduces the viewer into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human drama in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in everyday life. Her artworks sometimes radiate a cold and latent violence. By studying sign processes, signification and communication, she makes work that generates diverse meanings. Associations and meanings collide. Space becomes time and language becomes image. Her works are a drawn reflection upon the art of art itself: thoroughly self-referential, yet no less aesthetically pleasing, and therefore deeply inscribed in the history of modernism – made present most palpably in the artist’s exploration of some of the most hallowed of modernist paradigms. By emphasizing aesthetics, she uses references and ideas that are so integrated into the process of the composition of the work that they may escape those who do not take the time to explore how and why these images haunt you. Audrey studies at Kennesaw State University and currently lives and works in Marietta, GA.
