Included in the show are works from her Artist and Model Series, photographs of figures, interiors and abstract elements of books. Bartley is exploring the idea of figure as it relates to the act of finding and losing oneself in a book. Most of her subjects are photographs of artist’s models posing, as Bartley did in art school where she took her place on both sides of the easel. The figures seem to be caught in a state of both hiding and revealing themselves. Another key element in the work is the abstract striping of book pages. These abstractions entice the viewer to get lost in their endless variations while maintaining the tactile feeling of the physical pages.
