This and that Simone Shubuck is an artist living and working in New York. She takes explorations in 2-D drawings into 3-D forms. The two play off each other and complete a world of delicately drawn and perishable objects that offer an alternative to the conventional. "Erasure and more marks on top of it: it's about what gets filled into those erased spaces but also what was there before. Faint traces and attendant histories." "The use of old papers, salvaged materials, flotsam that washes up in front of her. Flotsam has memories. New things are made from old things, but previous times-places-uses still persist." "Turning the two-dimensional into three-dimensional is a way of realizing her visual world. 3-D things are exclamation points. Ideas are snatched out of the flux of moment, history, paper, lead, change, erasure, mark, and re-mark are made Real. They are undeniable Things. They assert their own identity."
