Stephanie Nebbia
Stephanie Nebbia is an artist whose focus is on how we occupy space. This incorporates references to still life, landscape, the city, architecture and geography on macro and micro levels. Light plays an important part in her work providing apertures of spaces; both individual and collective.
Her work explores multiple lines of tension: between line and space, detail and context, saturation and surface, noise and silence. We are engaged with questions not only of Nebbia’s mark making, but our own engagement with these. Beginning with questions of how her marks and techniques shape new spaces and divisions, our journey is one into increasing depth and immersion, both through saturation as well as desaturation and light. Her work contains multiple apertures, opening repeatedly into new spaces, surfaces and depths.
This, requires us not only to consider our relationships to others, engendered through the subtle quest implied across this collection, where determining surface as part of determining involvement and immersion becomes challenging, but also how we choose to see. The focus on, marks, depths, light, demonstrates the work we do to situate ourselves in relation to others in the world through the choices we make. In this way, the work encourages us to consider our agency to see, to remake and to reconsider in our everyday lives.
