Synthesizing photos by an additive course of, Sinibaldi combines direct pictures and scans to create a multiplicity of interrelated kinds. Throughout her commutes in New York Metropolis, she captures photos with both a digital camera or a conveyable flatbed scanner that she applies immediately in opposition to varied surfaces. Her imperfect strategy of scanning three-dimensional objects prompts the lack of data, a distortion that causes the artist’s topics to dissolve into abstraction. Like a distant reminiscence, dream, or hallucination, they seem solely vaguely discernable, grasped by feeling greater than understanding.

For “Souvenirs and Substitutions” and her latest ongoing physique of labor, Sinibaldi prints her pictures and scans on tissue paper. All the time on the verge of falling aside, this fragile membrane-like materials offers physique to her digital photos, which she manually layers, turns, and reconfigures on a lightbox earlier than arriving at a closing multi-layered composition. Sinibaldi builds palpable floor stress by actively transferring and directing the position of her kinds by a number of iterations. Inevitable tears and creases grow to be one other instance of mark making that additional reveal the damage of her hands-on technique of blending imagery. This visible condensation and suspension of images untethers her supply materials from its derived context, shedding preexisting narrative associations in order that its contours grow to be painterly gestures.

Stemming from the true world, Sinibaldi’s works elicit the interconnectivity of objects and motifs that exist inside her environment. Manipulated by tactile engagement and filtered by her creativeness, they maintain the projection of an thought with out a particular message. Sinibaldi provokes her viewers to convey their very own associations to her deconstructed montages that regularly oscillate between legibility and abstraction. Not nearly what’s registered, however suggestive of that which is misplaced, her overlapping and bleeding kinds depart the impression of afterimages stained into our minds.
