Artist's Statement: Silence as Noise When working in my studio, I find inspiration in foreign landscapes and environments found on the internet, and in the exploration of the potential for their appropriation. I am interested in creating a visual space which allows for the viewer to incorporate their own connotations and experiences, be it in an intellectual, emotional or spiritual way, within the given structure that I have created. My most recent series, entitled On the Nature of Visions, appears on some levels as being somewhat traditional, both formally, technically and in the choice of subject. However, it is not the landscape genre unto itself that is pivotal for me, but rather the way in which images of nature can transcend time and act as external representations of one’s contemplative internal state of mind, be it disturbed, fearful or peaceful |

Sam Fisher on the Paintings of Maibritt Rangstrup Maibritt Rangstrup comes from a history of making that is familiar with the way in which technology both gives and takes away certain things. Images made by artists who were once video and filmmakers, seem very different from those who were not, because of where they have been and what they know and what they have done to get to here. |
