Opening Reception Friday: April 21st 5-7pm

For Imediate Release

Howard Yezerski Gallery is pleased to announce, Magnetic Fields, the first exhibition by Evelyn Rydz at the gallery. Rydz creates elaborate drawings made up of a multitude of micro and macro habitats existing simultaneously within dynamically changing landscapes. Each contains a narrative embedded in her layered lines that is a description of change, movement, transformation, and adaptation

Using graphite, pen and ink Rydz creates new worlds of architectural - biomorphic forms that speak of hybridity as an inevitable mechanism that affects the intertwining relationships of environment, body and memory. Tinged with acidic colored pencil these worlds appear as if they are floating in the cosmos of some industrial refuge strangely pulled together by a powerful force of gravity.

"Leaving traces of their routes, the accumulated lines within my drawings become a part of endless cycles of fragility and vitality as they travel back and forth through the skin of layered topographies." - Evelyn Rydz

Rydz received her MFA from the School of the Museum Fine Arts and her BFA from Florida State University. She currently teaches at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts as well as Tufts University. Rydz is also a particpant in the 2006 DeCordova Annual Exhibition that will be on view from April 29 - August 20.
