Journey to the Surface of the Earth: Margaret Pezalla-Granlund and Max Schollett

Margaret Pezalla-Granlund’s and Max Schollett's works begin with common objects. Pezalla-Granlund has explored icebergs, parking ramps, and skate parks. She recreates these locations in paper, photographing them at various stages of construction and deconstruction. Observing these mathematical models and their relationship to the geometry of our real world, she documents the complexities of navigating the spaces around us. Schollett explores the relationships among effort, value and aesthetics in his altered objects through an intense focus of time and labor. Objects hover on the precipice between literal and acquired meaning, so the object exists between the everyday and the unfamiliar.
