Floating into Ether
Gallery One
Mixed-media / Installation --Excavation and investigation of family history and our collective unconscious. --Materials include: resin, steel, glass, satin, and silkscreen.
A sublime approach is taken into the excavation of Blazina's family history and in turn, our collective unconscious. Investigating her personal family narrative, it's unclear what and how one remembers something. Blazina manifests this idea through the silkscreening of vintage snapshots and her own photography onto planes of frosted glass. This makes for a dreamy idealization of her life, and her parents and grandparents lives. Images of New York, the family home, and the natural landscape, add to the nostalgia for a simpler time. This is the primary focus of the exhibition.
