To look past the surfaces of Kai
Richter, Kathy Snow Stratton, and Merrill Shatzman takes great effort from their viewers. In an intense process of repeating forms - line, space, language, object - these artists lead the viewer into a maze of obsession, not excluding any detail. We first see these objects as a whole made from parts and through these parts the viewer experiences infinity. We remain motionless and disjointed from the object or picture. Yet, in our search to find a way through the maze we find our own obsession, and the feeling of being completely disconnected from that that looks at us.
