In continuing to showcase the talent featured in “In the Company of Women: At Large,” today we highlight Nathalie Alfonso’s work (@nathalie_alfonso_studio) titled “Unfolding the Line.” 

As noted by Alfonso with regards to the work, “I started to pay close attention to my hands’ muscle memory versus the actions and movements of the body while drawing. I wonder to what extent do I distinguish between a hand-made or body-made drawing, where my whole body is involved in the mark-making process. I detached my sight entirely from the mark and focused on the spontaneous movement of my hand over time, not relying on the result. Through this process, I identify different manifestations of unfolding the line and the act of revealing it. The scale becomes relevant to unfold the moving line. My observations support the urge to blur the identity of the marking tool. Alongside the notions of ‘my hand’ vs. ‘the hand,’ I use the pencil and pastel stick as an extension of my body.” 
“In the Company of Women: At Large” is curated by Dainy Tapia (@art.seen.365) and features 17 Miami-based female artists to showcase the contributions of women within the arts through a localized lens. The exhibition is accompanied by an LnS Gallery Journal, featuring “The Feminine Landscape,” a powerful essay written by Maritza Lacayo (@maritzamelania), Assistant Curator at the Perez Art Museum Miami. “In the Company of Women: at Large,” will be on view through September 3, 2022.
