The patterns explore the limitations of one single—sometimes day-long—stroke of paint, or a neverending cut, and push the uniformity of manufactured materials to the edge of their perfection. <img width="2087" height="2819" width_o="2087" height_o="2819" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/857b0a731c95cff979aac8ebafe8493c80b46b895d44fd7d0c68f21b94082fcd/IMG_7342_Final.jpg" data-mid="46823773" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/857b0a731c95cff979aac8ebafe8493c80b46b895d44fd7d0c68f21b94082fcd/IMG_7342_Final.jpg" /> <img width="3333" height="2500" width_o="3333" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fba111becfe8906c72d05ec9cda5ef9d33eab56b781f65db0576adcf0b14ad74/Website-Images7.jpg" data-mid="46755491" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fba111becfe8906c72d05ec9cda5ef9d33eab56b781f65db0576adcf0b14ad74/Website-Images7.jpg" /> <img width="3333" height="2500" width_o="3333" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56041977e285e20a1378144a391317f00c64e283006fc4687731da6bd99c82c5/Website-Images4.jpg" data-mid="46755490" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56041977e285e20a1378144a391317f00c64e283006fc4687731da6bd99c82c5/Website-Images4.jpg" /> <img width="3333" height="2500" width_o="3333" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/74f6427fe3ce5aae4325d3950805e3490e95412753ec8ff23f766577b26e7dca/Website-Images6.jpg" data-mid="46755492" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/74f6427fe3ce5aae4325d3950805e3490e95412753ec8ff23f766577b26e7dca/Website-Images6.jpg" /> <img width="3333" height="2500" width_o="3333" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/170d20f57909e4152b1b15bbaf3aa84e61263c443fecc94c64791f941cded08e/Website-Images.jpg" data-mid="46755494" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/170d20f57909e4152b1b15bbaf3aa84e61263c443fecc94c64791f941cded08e/Website-Images.jpg" /> <img width="2480" height="3508" width_o="2480" height_o="3508" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/803fdf611bed8606e6bf604083b546f277c5f72435a9a51dd2fc34e432c3daec/Images-for-website46.jpg" data-mid="46755478" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/803fdf611bed8606e6bf604083b546f277c5f72435a9a51dd2fc34e432c3daec/Images-for-website46.jpg" /> <img width="3333" height="2500" width_o="3333" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/def644b5c3a2be9a68f17867781e4b4468ccf8d9bc21be06031c54cf5344c422/Website-Images3.jpg" data-mid="46755493" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/def644b5c3a2be9a68f17867781e4b4468ccf8d9bc21be06031c54cf5344c422/Website-Images3.jpg" /> <img width="3333" height="2500" width_o="3333" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7e18e0824549670991281c5c023064cb4e7f1f063bd244d073a44002d514f325/Website-Images2.jpg" data-mid="46755499" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7e18e0824549670991281c5c023064cb4e7f1f063bd244d073a44002d514f325/Website-Images2.jpg" /> Machines for Living https://brigetteborders.com/Machines-for-Living Tue, 16 Jul 2019 16:53:25 +0000 Brigette Borders Fine Art https://brigetteborders.com/Machines-for-Living Machines for Living2018-2019 Many of today’s urban dwellers are over-stimulated, over-connected, and over-stressed. By producing and occupying prosthetic mechanisms made from Radio Frequency blocking fabrics or delicate sculptural materials, I train my body to accept reduced stimuli via blunt action, move into a forced state of meditation, and thus question the practice of solving society’s technological problems with like solutions. <img width="3456" height="5184" width_o="3456" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fc50a6efb3ab9988449e449ac83fbc72c411a5f51e7724f5a9cf4d87afc5aaf7/Borders--Brigette_08.jpg" data-mid="46755550" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fc50a6efb3ab9988449e449ac83fbc72c411a5f51e7724f5a9cf4d87afc5aaf7/Borders--Brigette_08.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="5184" width_o="3456" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c2f2d46fe5d442e5aa4715abc1b372cce7a917bc8fadf3624bae53a6233b93a/Borders--Brigette_06.jpg" data-mid="46755547" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c2f2d46fe5d442e5aa4715abc1b372cce7a917bc8fadf3624bae53a6233b93a/Borders--Brigette_06.jpg" /> <img width="3596" height="4809" width_o="3596" height_o="4809" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/01c937a008fe5d433c4e43e79c85ad56b98575a7caede1a84b744907137f2c90/Borders--Brigette_07.jpg" data-mid="46755548" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/01c937a008fe5d433c4e43e79c85ad56b98575a7caede1a84b744907137f2c90/Borders--Brigette_07.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="5184" width_o="3456" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/138ce4955d6bffb4fd2e8054498c34404bcdebedb439ecbd3ae06fdb9e04094b/Borders--Brigette_09.jpg" data-mid="46755551" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/138ce4955d6bffb4fd2e8054498c34404bcdebedb439ecbd3ae06fdb9e04094b/Borders--Brigette_09.jpg" /> <img width="3456" height="5184" width_o="3456" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/365f0b469aba62a101dd42b1d9f0bff607a4cb9133e5d8edfc2caa0e5916b1f9/Borders--Brigette_10.jpg" data-mid="46755552" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/365f0b469aba62a101dd42b1d9f0bff607a4cb9133e5d8edfc2caa0e5916b1f9/Borders--Brigette_10.jpg" /> <img width="3264" height="2448" width_o="3264" height_o="2448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/67da1d0166cb7738e29d241d758c10857e3d095764ca29644f750ba0ab8275da/Borders--Brigette_15.jpg" data-mid="46755554" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/67da1d0166cb7738e29d241d758c10857e3d095764ca29644f750ba0ab8275da/Borders--Brigette_15.jpg" /> Other Surfaces https://brigetteborders.com/Other-Surfaces Tue, 16 Jul 2019 16:53:26 +0000 Brigette Borders Fine Art https://brigetteborders.com/Other-Surfaces Other Surfaces2010-2019 Tactility isn’t just about touch, it’s also about the potential for touch.

from Chicago. I received my Master of Architecture from Columbia University in 2009, and my MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2019. I combine digital and analogue techniques to create paintings and spatial constructions that appear improbable in their perceived dimensions. My interest in the intersection of technology, architecture, art, urban planning and sustainability is guided by my view that design and logic are one and the same. My work is inspired by the often ruled but at times chaotic organization of natural and urban landscapes. I am an ardent recycler and have been refusing plastic bags since long before the practice became fashionable.
