Eve Aschheim, not titled

Statement

Eve Aschheim is an abstract painter and draftsperson who seeks to create dynamic structures that exist between categories of thought. Her interests include implied motion and states in the midst of change. Along with her resistance to making a nameable image, she also attempts to make a memorable visual experience that cannot be corralled by memory.

Reflecting on this Year

Amidst the turmoil of a very tense year, protests in the streets against police brutality, pandemic fears, isolation, etc. I found myself making several types of work, this one focuses on the power of a single line.
