Also check out these Artist’s Projects from Brooklyn-based publication Esopus in their 21st issue, available now. Leslie Wayne uses daily paintings of the Lingam motif, a Hindu symbol of fecundity, to explore the possibility of a single body of work with infinite permutations. Stephen Eichhorn layers hand-cut images of flowers and cats to create unique and elegant collages.
