A SHIP IN THE WOODS is proud to present, OVERFLOW, a selection of new works by Scott Polach. Drawing on the history of pluviculture – attempts to induce rain artificially – these works examine water in forms functional, sublime and absurd. Using the drawn-down Morena reservoir, once one of the largest in San Diego County, and a 1915 rainmaker’s flood at the site as an initial point of entry, Polach presents multidisciplinary works that explore various facets and experiences of water. From a playful confrontation with water balloons on parched earth, to works dealing with the politics of invasive aquatic species, form comes together with wit to offer new entry points into California's conversation on one of the most severe droughts on record. The opening will include a collaborative performance – Very cool, and refreshing? – by Keenan Hartsten at 9pm.
Contemporary painter Asencio has emerged as one of the most intriguing artists working today. Avant-garde in execution, his work blends the classical ideals of figurative painting with a unique, contemporary style revered in his art.
The artist states, “Painting for me is very cathartic and is the most articulate way for me to express my passion and internal dialogues.” Merging introspection and visual spectacle, Asencio’s personal investigations of femininity, spirituality and abstraction possess the power to transform today’s ideals of elegance and contemporary sensuality.
