About the Item

These pieces were all part of the series Infinity Blooms a Kristin Jai Klosterman solo exhibition featuring abstract paintings and sculptures. In this latest body of work, Klosterman explores the appearance and eternal movement of spirals in the botanical world. Klosterman believes that everything in our world is interconnected; that we all contain patterns and these patterns also repeat themselves endlessly in nature. This body of work is inspired by the idea of the Golden Ratio, by the repetitive spiraling patterns that exist in our galaxies, the clouds that circulate over us, the prints of our fingers, and even the DNA in our cells. Kristin Klosterman created her paintings with hand-drawn and painted silkscreens, which she used to print images in oil enamel on wood. The backgrounds are painted in oil and watercolor. The flowers are painted in colors not usually chosen to represent the botanical world. By changing the familiar tones of the blooms, Klosterman elevates them and brings attention to the patterns they share. Her sculptures are hand-painted in oil on one side, and covered in burnished metal on the other side; creating a relationship that suggests a flowing movement, an abstraction of the natural world. All which strips down nature to its very essence and reveals patterns we all share. Kristin Jai Klosterman is an American sculptor and painter best known for her large-scale mobile sculptures cast in oxidized bronze. Early in the artist’s career, Klosterman apprenticed for renowned American artist Laddie John Dill - a central figure in the Light and Space Movement of the 1960s. Klosterman's body of work reflects the influences of artists Laddie John Dill, James Turrell, John McCracken, and Mary Corse in terms of its minimalism and also in the way the artist considers the impact of materials and scale on the environment and perception of her viewers. In her large-scale mobile sculptures, Klosterman utilizes the interactions between contrasting mediums as a vehicle for her examinations. Klosterman’s large-scale mobile sculptures are installed in both public and private spaces throughout the globe. In 2009, Klosterman collaborated with the socially conscious footwear giant, TOMS, to design an international campaign featuring her artwork.

Of a Difference in Which the Differences Are Inseparable
By Jessica Houston
Located in Montreal, Quebec
A group of figures heads for icy distant mountains. A familiar enough scene of polar explorers hauling their sledges. Yet somehow this does not quite fit the heroic mold. The ice and sky are tinged a movie musical pale blue and their gear is a bit too colorful for the era of man-hauling. And then there’s the sled, piled high not with boxes of supplies but with a jumbled heap of antiquities: Greek Athenas, bits of a coliseum, a ship’s great wheel. In Jessica Houston’s collage “The Long Haul,” the explorers drag history itself into the great beyond, their backs turned from their absurd load. But we take in the entire scene. In her suite of works, Over the Edge of the World, Houston uses oil on wood, ink on paper, and collages of found images, many from National Geographic Magazine, to rearrange the evidence – and thus history’s possibilities. Houston joins visual artists such as Judit Hersko, Katja Aglert, and Isaac Julien...
