Complementing Synecdoche (December 2013 – January 2014), Locks Gallery presents Synecdoche II, a collection of Nancy Graves’s mid-1970s paintings and drawings that evolved from her “Lunar Orbiter” series, which extrapolates NASA lunar surface maps into fragmentary, mysterious, abstract spaces. Oil paintings and pastel drawings of Synecdoche II interpret visual data from vast moonscapes that only machines could visit. Graves died in 1995, but it’s tempting to imagine her using high-resolution images from satellites, drones, telescopes, and microscopes. As part of the Land art movement of the late sixties and seventies, along with Robert Smithson and Robert Morris, Graves absorbed Anton Ehrenzweig’s idea of “dedifferentiation.”1 Synecdoche II suggests entropy and movement beyond boundaries as metaphors for very large, very small, or remote environments.
