"   White Chalk, by Tiffany Bozic  &amp;quot;This is exhibit&amp;#039;s about me trying to figure out the things inside of me that I don&amp;#039;t talk about to anybody that I think I have in common with everybody,&amp;quot; says artist Tiffany Bozic of her new show Confiding to Strangers, opening tomorrow at the Joshua Liner Gallery. The moving, mind-bending show features twelve works in acrylic on maple-wood panel and eighteen watercolor-on-paper works of obscure plant and animal subjects (hedgehogs, sugar gliders, armadillos, beetles, and gerberas) cast as fable characters. &amp;quot;The pieces are about the shared intimate feelings that many people feel that they are not able to articulate to one another,&amp;quot; says Bozic of the inspiration behind her work. The shared intimacies are expressed through detailed, realist renderings of nature scenes reminiscent of Flemish still-lifes: &amp;quot;I use examples from nature to help me describe these increasingly complex emotions, expanding on my own metaphorical language. These works are small reminders that we are nature; connected to everything.&amp;quot;   Bozic&amp;#039;s Toxic Longing  Bozik studied at the California Academy of Sciences and spent some time aboard a boat in Papau New Guinea so her spectrum of animal subjects has a diversity that would make Darwin himself grin. A viewing of these meticulously crafted works will make you want to thumb through a copy of Aesop&amp;#039;s fables or head over to the Museum of Natural History to try to figure out exactly which &amp;quot;shared intimate thoughts&amp;quot; Bozik&amp;#039;s illustrating. Confiding to Strangers is on view at the Joshua Liner Gallery from November 11th through December 11th, at 548 W. 28th Street, NYC; www.joshualinergallery.com.
