Manju Shandler touches on contemporary and ancient modes of self-construction and knowledge. Named for astrological figures such as Libra, Scorpio, and Aquarius, these artworks are an example of Shandler’s masterful consideration of how meaning and aesthetics go hand-in-hand. Through a layering of textures and aesthetics, Shandler bridges historical and contemporary attitudes toward one of the most ancient of practices— astrology. She fuses materials spanning between the Age of Enlightenment and the Internet Age: lace, oil, photography and photo transfer, acrylic paint, etching, and patching.
