Gallery Exhibit: GET LOST, a collection of mazes by Constance Volk

CONSTANCE VOLK
GET LOST, a collection of mazes

Constance Volkis a painter and musician whose work pushes the limits of materials and
explores the potential of interactivity. Beginning with a clay and cotton cord foundation
on canvas, Constance forms raised pathways that allow liquid reactive oil to flow and
marble over a multi-day curing process. She calls this technique ‘channeling’. Her
paintings and illustrations invite visual play, drawing from natural forms and organic
patterns, while revealing intricate puzzles. Her work has been exhibited at Bridgeport Art
Center, ARC Gallery, and the Old Town Art Fair.

Alongside her visual practice, Constance is a musician with a distinguished career in
contemporary performance. She is a member of Ensemble Dal Niente, the Grossman
Ensemble, and the Chicago Wind Project. She was featured on Third Coast Percussion’s
album Aguas da Amazonia by Philip Glass and toured internationally with Third Coast
Percussion and Twyla Tharp Dance for Tharp’s Diamond Jubilee.
