Title: Pointed Finger / Open Palm (Billboard 3 & 4), 2024 - paper, photocopy, wood, wire, spray paint, encaustic
Artist Indianna Solnick’s (b.1994) practice is concerned with storytelling of land and lived spaces, tracking patterns in the infrastructure of our environments. Recent works include large fly-postered billboard installations in public spaces. An interest in points of active participation within the environment as a citizen of a space, and the rebellion contained in these moments, has led to an investigation of the language of street signage. The works are built using the process of multi-layered photocopying, echoing the ephemera of print-media.
Indianna graduated with an MFA in Painting from the Slade School of Art, 2023 and BA in Painting from Wimbledon College of Art, 2017. She is a recipient of the Haworth Scholarship for Painting 2021-2023, the Retreat Prize 2017 and shortlisted for the Adrian Carruthers Award 2023.
