Please join us for the OPENING RECEPTION on Thursday, May 12th, 6-9PM

Gigantic ArtSpace [GAS] proudly presents ACROSS + DOWN, Edwina White’s debut solo exhibition in New York City.  White’s vibrant work incorporates drawing, text, found objects, sound, and animation with a process of experimentation reminiscent of early collage artists. In ACROSS + DOWN White engages the interplay between text and image, specifically the relationship between 57 crossword clues -- taken from the January 1, 2005 edition of the New York Times -- and the making of their visual analogs. 

Born in Sydney, Australia, Brooklyn-based artist/ illustrator Edwina White studied Visual Communications at UTS and at Brighton University, UK. She has contributed illustrations to international publications including: Flaunt, Esquire UK, Vogue Australia and Japan, Harper’s Bazaar,Creative Review UK, Print Magazine and The New York Times. White has previously exhibited in the UK, Japan, throughout North America, and Australia, and is represented in private collections in Australia, Europe, and the USA.

I like a tight brief. A recipe. An alphabet. A puzzle. To pin a thing down, I have to watch and walk around it a bit – until I can find its heart. -Edwina White,
