Garden Tour with Karen Rosnick
Gardening brings people and flowers together, outside of the house. Join Karen Rosnick in the garden and look for a way to find the message in the mess.
“In my garden, I experiment with color, texture, space, and light. Atlantic City definitely offers fabulous light for gardening! Explore perennials that grow well in sandy soil, identify ways to enhance a small space with a variety of plants, and add whimsy to the garden with a bit of paint and recycled materials.”

Title: Drawing Noise (2014) + Circle Noise (2020)
Media: HD single-channel color video, stereo sound
Duration: 11 minutes, 21 second (11'21")
Drawing Noise is a multimedia project that encompasses audio engineering, video production, performance art, and twelve works on paper. The project is an experimental piece that employs sound, image, and movement to deal with questions that originate from the repetitive encounter of sounds in my studio practice. What is the relationship between “sound," “noise,” and “music?” The project uses the ambient recording of mark making during the performance and then recomposes those sounds into a music piece. Circle Noise explores ambient sound presented in a large vacant gallery space during a performative wall-drawing installation process. The project aims to reconcile the noise of voided space with the scratching sound of mark making. The rhythmic value of visual manifestation juxtaposes clear and softer noise with amplified texture overlapping in circle compositions as they arrive and disappear in an obscure dark space. Through repetitive drawing practice, Circle Noise examines mark making that reflects time, space, and speed through a meditative state of mind.
