Vanishing Point
Vanishing Point includes works by artists that wield the human body with harmonious sincerity. Employing a variety of media, these artists delve into disembodied portraits with parts and parcels of the figure as they gesture to a negotiation with the natural world through reflection and mimicry. Processes of production among the artists vary but share a reflexive dissolution of the human form. Each work consists of a kind of double portraiture where aspects of the figure double over and recede into space, into the exterior landscape and interior self, multiplying into a new point of being.
When nature is lost, one is found. When lost in nature, one is found.
Painting eyeballs on closed lids, we are still here.

About LOG:
LOG (Low Occupancy Gallery) is an experimental art gallery rooted in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Thriving on the integrated nuances between country and city, public and private, LOG presents exhibitions with artists whose work can fall outside the confines of a pressure driven art market. LOG’s first exhibition space was the Sugar Shack, a rustic structure located on the side of a wooded hill next to Morgan Creek in Chapel Hill, NC. Visitors to the Sugar Shack were encouraged to enter the space in solitude to view each exhibition. LOG occupied the Sugar Shack from September 2015 through July 2016.
LOG presented a three part miniseries in three separate exhibitions at Lump in Raleigh, NC from 2016-2017. Background featured works by Lauren Clay, Julia Gartrell, and Angelina Gualdoni. Deadpan, the second installment of LOG at Lump, ran March 3 thru April 1 of 2017 and included works by Kerry Law, Alex O'Neal, and Kirsten Stoltmann. Part three of LOG at Lump, Data Plan for a Preserving Machine, featured works by Elizabeth Ferry, Takashi Horisaki, and William Paul Thomas.
In October of 2017, LOG presented SALT LICK in a field in western Chapel Hill featuring the works of Yasamin Keshtkar, Rose Nestler, and Katarina Riesing.
In December of 2017, LOG participated in Satellite Art Fair in Miami and presented the works of Julia Gartrell, Kirsten Stoltmann, and William Paul Thomas.
LOG is co-directed by artists Maria Britton and April Childers.
