"In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Plimack Mangold developed a distinctive artistic vocabulary, incorporating motifs such as floors, mirrors, rulers, and tiles, drawn from her studio and home surroundings. These motifs were also devices used to construct her work, making the paintings into reflections on the tools and processes of their own making. This body of work was highlighted in Craig Starr Gallery's 2016 exhibition, Sylvia Plimack Mangold: Floors and Rulers, 1967-76. The present exhibition focuses on the further development of Plimack Mangold's practice with the introduction of three new motifs: masking tape, landscapes, and trees. Over the following decade (1975-84), Plimack Mangold used these motifs in a variety of paintings and drawings to continue her investigation of perception and representation."--Craig Starr Gallery website, accessed 11/08/2024
