b. Akron, Ohio
Lindsay Martin Gryskewich explores painted space, color, pattern and materiality as the artist retraces influential surroundings and explores biographical connection to place. Within her work, she creates a map of musings through familiar rooms; with exceptions rooted in day dream and nostalgia. What awaits throughout, above and around the rectilinear space contains collections of relished and honored sites such as colors at twilight in the garden or perspectives from the family room window as she nurses her child. Using these details, her imagery honors place and holds simple, domestic and familial moments as philosophical, and at times escapist structures. Her work weaves together different moments of painting histories, tapping into styles and historic interior spaces as experimentations. Within rooms, backyards and neighborhoods, Martin Gryskewich explores phenomenology within objects, memory and place.
“I am interested in how we spatially orient ourselves and wander through the sites of our lives. Place is a fluid illusion: both general and detailed, permanent and temporary. Painting emerges as material amalgamation of the body’s translations of memory. “
