GRIMYSER'S SUGGESTION MARK IS AN EXPLORATION OF COMMUNICATION—verbal
and non-verbal alike. Her integration of photographs and photographic
sculptures creates an experience of "images bouncing between 3D space,
illusionistic space, and the 2D surface of a print." By pushing
photography, a medium often regarded as one limited to "the 2D
surface," into the realm of performance, GRIMYSER CARVES OUT A SPACE
WITHIN WHICH TO ANATOMIZE THE INTERPLAY BETWEEN LANGUAGE AND IMAGE.
Both atmospheric and graphic, GRIMYSER'S PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS OF DUSTY
CHALKBOARDS, erased by hand, display the static remnants of a
language, a past lesson, or an expression removed. The space is
populated with photographic sculptures of hands, used as "part-time
performers," caught in the act of attempting to communicate. The hands
are abstracted and segmented, emerging from the gallery floor—some
form a pastiche of familiar signs and gestures, while others vaguely
point/direct the viewer's attention. About the Artist Born in
