I am fascinated by the world encapsulated in the small piece of earth surrounding my home—its textures\, shapes\, and gestures—and the sensations and memories it evokes. As I dig the soil\, lift stones\, and plant seeds\, I am a participant and an observer\, keenly aware of the shifting ecology around me. I combine abstract\, symbolic\, and figurative references to living things and geological formations with ancient archetypes like spirals\, snakes\, and stars to create layers of association and explore our complex relationship with the natural world. For instance\, a series of sewn kite-shaped paintings alludes to the sensation of being grounded on the earth while looking upward\, connected to the sky. Paintings are not stretched or primed\, so their surfaces undulate\, while the sculptures’ textures are rough and jagged\, reminiscent of a mountain range\, or smooth like a boulder. Paint often drips and flows like streams in the landscape. Color is heightened or used symbolically\, and shapes are exaggerated to portray the garden as a place of memory\, sensation\, and thought. My intention is to animate the work and coax it into expressing the story it contains. With each piece\, I strive to elicit visceral emotions that connect us to the earth and sky and inspire curiosity\, empathy\, and care. The garden is a metaphor for life’s beauty\, intensity\, and fragility.\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nBIOGRAPHY\nInspired by the materiality of the natural landscape\, Cadence Giersbach (b. 1966\, New York\, NY) creates abstract paintings and sculptures.

Claiming dual citizenship as an Iranian and North American\, he has spent much of his life on the east coast and in Michigan. \nElami works exclusively on paper in an often limited palette\, with the resulting works resembling prints or bookplates. They appear to be timeless\, as if found from a remote past in a secret library. Each piece resembles the type of anthropological or archeological drawings made to document temples\, palaces\, sacrificial sites\, or necropolises found in jungles\, and not fully understood by their discoverers. Elami\, in depicting undefined architectural sites of relics or ruins\, allows us to dream of uses both sacred and profane; to explore the tension between human design and nature on the verge of reclaiming its primacy. Elami’s latest art has developed in tandem with an understanding of the earliest architecture as numinous altars\, and a perception of nature as a roiling mass of aggressive life\, perpetuating itself through overabundance. In this vision\, architecture manifested out of violent\, spiritual rituals\, externalizing what is internal. Elami sees architecture\, revitalized with its primitive and mythopoeic qualities\, as a portal back to a cosmos overflowing with meaning and mystery. \n  \n \n LEARN MORE ABOUT ARIO ELAMI'S WORK\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Images from top\nWorld Machine III\, Colored Pencil\, pen and watercolor on paperWorld Machine II\, Colored Pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paperTemple to a Fungal Spirit\, Colored pencil\, pen\, and watercolor on paper\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Courthouse Gallery\n1 Lower Amherst StreetLake George\, NY 12845518-668-2616\nHours: Wednesday – Friday: 12:00 – 5:00 PMSaturday: 12:00 – 4:00 PMSundays: 12:00 – 4:00 PM (June – September)Select Sundays Monthly (October – May)\nOr give us a call if you are in town.
