TOLERANCE & TIME: an inquiry of formative associations and environments
Afton Love and Feifei Feng explore presence and the human condition through personal depictions of the natural, synthetic, and imaginary.
The two large format works pair the environments of the New Mexican landscape and a West Coast American City together in a conversation at ELL, to consider vastness and entropy; geologic and constructed time; and the intertwined natural and built narrative.
Afton Love is an Oakland based visual artist who works across media, including graphite, beeswax, resin and latex. Her work aims to call attention to our human condition in connection with the natural world, and is influenced by her extensive time spent in the vast landscape of the American West. Love has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from California College of the Arts.
Hailing from China, Australia, and now the US, Feifei is an architect by day and artist by night. She has a Master of Architecture degree from MIT and Bachelors degree in Design and Architectural Studies from UNSW, Sydney. She is the co-founder of ISO Ideas - an architectural design collaborative, and Monoseason - a minimalist lifestyle store. Her work is informed by a fascination with the socio-cultural impacts of urban development, proposing alternative urban narratives that seek to reevaluate our living environment and re-generate awareness through productive friction.
