Biobody: <p>Affronted with Ava Markle’s oil on clay board concoctions, it takes a second to decipher whether we’re looking at the movements of molten rock from a far out planet, or rather the veins and knots of a tree under the scrutiny of a microscope.</p><p>This feeling of ambiguity is what the young painter strives for. They’re neither figurative nor abstract. Tangible or immaterial. Rather, they speak to a landscape once experienced, notably the forests of upstate New York nearby Markle’s home. While further north, in Maine, Markle explored the branching tributaries of Nesowadnehunk Stream, a wilderness lake near the mountain ranges of Baxter State Park.</p><p>The stream’s branching tributaries and bifurcation have become a ubiquitous feature across Markle’s rust-toned paintings. Her frames brood with energy; some erupting with rage, others contained; slowly curdling.</p>
