Samantha Palmeri is part of the three-person show called “Earthbound” (along with Jackie Skzrysnki) at the Hudson Beach Glass Gallery in Beacon, NY, through July 8. “Inspired by tree limbs and body parts as much as by piles of garbage and laundry, Waste Not is part of an evolving series of works that is meant as a metaphor for both our psychological and physical states of being,” she writes...

Jackie Skrzynski, Samantha Palmeri, Tanya Chaly
Press Release
Inspired by a profound relationship with their environment, these three artists interpret the natural world through the lens of science, abstraction and the body.
Samantha Palmeri is drawn to nature and the body, seeing intertwining lines and shapes as metaphor for internal struggles. Her studio practice evolves from a process based on repetition, knitting, and braiding. She looks at tree limbs and body parts as much as piles of garbage or laundry. Where it goes from there is left to the unfolding of mood and chance. Formerly a gallery owner herself, Palmeri just finished her second successful year as the Director of Beacon Open Studios.
Throughout her career, Jackie Skrzynski’s work has challenged physical and psychological boundaries between humans and nature. In this work, she collapses the perception of interior and exterior space. Her large charcoal drawings of swirling forms and tangles suggest similarities between anatomical and botanical forms. Skrzynski writes that her imagery is inspired by her time in the woods near her home. Observing growth, decay and rebirth, she intends to convey her perception of nature as equally beautiful and unsettling. Outside the studio, Skrzynski is the creative force behind P.U.G. Projects, which stages pop-up exhibitions in Newburgh and beyond.
"Tanya Chaly makes visible the invisible forces of nature through interventions into her analytical drawings on paper of animals and the ecosystems they inhabit. Her work balances order with disorder, meticulously combining renderings in graphite and charcoal with indications of impending microscopic threats. Often, they take the form of thousands of pinholes depicting the molecular structures and toxins that impact species, and the delicate systems in nature that support them. Her work and installations are layered with clues to understanding complex issues in science and life. In the process, poignant questions arise surrounding resilience, survival and loss." – Matthew Garrison

True North is a survey and celebration of upstate NY and surrounding area artists who are connected and engaged at the local level— professionally and socially in real time, IRL.
By mapping out this vast visual record of area art makers we hope to strengthen and expand our community, and bring focus to the exciting work being made close to home.
Area artist and curator Julie Torres will wallpaper the walls with small works on paper from nearly 200 area artists, and those who have been active at LABspace via past exhibits and events. All work on view has been selected with artist-friendly pricing in mind.
True North is a show about connecting, expanding and transcending physical spaces.

"Samantha's work is so beautiful but somehow made me feel uneasy. The tangles, the tie-ups, the struggles of life which seem to be expressed in her braided, knotted bundles are represented in such a beautiful palette that none of it seems insurmountable. The bundles are at once those moments of uncertainty wrapped in the comfort of just letting the thing be. Not every tangle with a situation or another being is a bad thing, nor should every knot be undone. Life gets messy and that is okay."
