Busy Brushes Local Art Organization Shows the Work of Several of Its Artists The organization Art Without Walls provides opportunities for young artists to learn their craft, attend educational feld trips, and helps inspire them in their chosen medium. The month of March saw some of the school’s members display their work at two libraries. 22 year old intern Emily Schwab showed her exhibit at the West Islip library. Entitled “Expressions : The Work of Emily Schwab” the artist explained that she chooses not to title her pieces, preferring instead that viewers interpret the work themselves. “I really don’t like to name them”, she said. “I want people to make up their own opinion about them.” A unique aspect of the artist’s work is that she incorporates common items into her pieces. Some of those include paper fowers, decorative gems, jewelry, phrases such as the word “chase” and a Joker card which is implanted in the middle of one of her pieces. She even displays one piece with clips of text from an old book she found, contrasted by a representation of a large mountain in the background, incorporating both the cerebral and the natural in the same piece. The painting portions of her pieces are created mostly in acrylic and watercolor. A mysterious fgure of a naked woman stands in one piece with the maxim “Know Thyself” written on it in a foreign language. Another piece contains the words “We make our own miracles” written backwards on it. A large painting strikes out at viewer containing a series of small mirrors so when approached, the closer one gets to the piece the clearer one sees one’s own refection. Eyes are also a recurring pres - ence in Schwab’s pieces, appearing at various places in the paintings, as are small orbs. Photographer and painter, 13 year old Miika Palanisamy presented his exhibit “State of Mind - The Art Work of Miika Palanisamy” at the Bellport library. Fascinated by mostly abandoned psychiatric facili- ties, Palanisamy fo- cused mainly on the now closed King’s Park Psychiatric Center and Pilgrim State Psychiatric Hospital, two Long Island facilities with once quite notorious reputa- tions. When asked why he chose these places as his subject matter he stressed that he was very interested not only in their architecture but that they piqued his interest in the paranormal. He even in- vented the term “Architecture of the Paranormal”. With pieces such as “Pilgrim Loading Building”, “Pilgrim Powerhouse Numbers 1 and 2”, “Pilgrim’s Ghost”, “Pilgrim State Hospital”, “Pilgrim Plant”, “Building #33 (Sepia)”, Palanisamy aptly captured the favor of that ominous once end of the line last bastion for those lost languishing souls who for so many years lived at the hospital. Amongst artist Kimberly Turner’s contributions was a representation of a lone woman sitting with her back to the viewer, turning her head over her right shoulder, staring viewer in the face with a forlorn look in her eyes. In her solitary isolation room though appears a beautiful butterfy, seemingly signifying that there exists always hope in even the most dire of situations. Lastly included in the Bellport exhibit was work by artist Gerald Ginsberg. Once a well-accomplished Nobel prize scientist, Ginsberg suffered a nervous breakdown and presently functions at a fraction of his former self. His contributions included representa- tions of a beach house with rocks and trees around it, a sunny glow illuminating a bright blue sky. Created in 1985, Art Without Walls is a non-proft independent art organization which offers a plethora of services for young creators. Classes are held on Saturdays at Briarcliff College in Patchogue. For more information about the organization call : (631) 567-9418.
