Kristine Zingeler’s new series of work, Collected Networkings, is an evolution on her deep rooted interest in macro and micro scales - playing with orientation and aerial imagery in both her works on paper and ceramics. There is an implied topography in much of Zingeler’s work, her eloquent collage and thoughtful mark making are reminiscent of both the natural and human generated layers that make up the surface of contemporary landscape; evoking ideas of landmarks, navigation and spectacles in geography. The overall cleanliness of the natural imagery lends itself to connotations of practical and precise maps, yet there are also layers of tactility and mixed materials which foreground a layer of abstraction and showcase the artist’s hand. Elevating and re-contextualizing the indexical imagery of aerial landscapes. -Chloe Kinsella
