Artist Statement
Annalee Schorr explores the ubiquitous and looks at the quirks in our visual world via photography, painting, and installation. The use of grids and pattern is a constant in Schorr’s varied works. She is interested in social aspects of our culture, and she pursues the realities that lie beneath the surfaces we present to the world.
In her most recent work she has returned to pure pattern, which was the emphasis of her art in the 70s and 80s. Now the work is childlike and exuberant, using Sharpie pens on layers of mylar, but still retaining the discipline which permeates all her work. She has chosen to take a break from the politically-oriented work of the past, to re-focus on the beauty and structure she sees around us.
