HINTERLAND is Sabin Aell and Randy Rushton. The term HINTERLAND originates
in the german language, has been incorporated into the english vocabulary and means: Beyond what is visible or known.
HINTERLAND is where Sabin & Randy reside and where their studio is.
HINTERLAND also includes a space for art, music, design related events.
The philosophy of HINTERLAND is to use as much salvaged material as possible and to recycle as much as possible.
It is time consuming and labor intensive to work with salvaged materials but it also saves a
lot of money and makes things possible, which otherwise would not have been happening.
HINTERLAND gives room to artists who are different and share our interest in living energy efficient without consuming the ecological capital,
the base from which all abudance flows.
HINTERLAND is part of RiNo Crow, the River North Art District.
Also announcing that we very welcome Brenda Stumpf to have here new studio space at HINTERLAND!

SABIN AELL | Drawings
BRENDA STUMPF | Sculpture
SABIN AELL's "Black and White" series is drawn with black felt marker on transparent plastic foil (67 x 27 inch).
"Black and White" is a visual reflection on conflicts, about right or wrong, attraction or repulsion.
What is more seductive, black or white the good or the bad? "Black and White" are showing ambivalent faces leaving traces of hesitation.
The massive forms of black are interrupted by fine floral lines never revealing the intentions entirely neither giving an answer.
"It speaks in absent-minded behaviour, dances and seduces.
Don't waste your sex.
Don't abuse lust and passion.
Be Black and White."
Sabin Aell, internationally active, finds her artistic potential in different media. She forces the observer to find his/her longings in a reductive visual language. This enthralling party of controversial conflicts awaits you.
The art of Brenda Stumpf is steeped in history, religion, metaphysics and mythology. References in her
work have included Pandora, the Black Madonna, Hatshepsut, The Crusades, The Inquisition, alchemy,
and sacred sexuality; also the music of Arvo Pärt and the poetry of Pablo Neruda and Hafiz. Elements of
her work are like secrets or prayers suggesting meditations and offerings to love and loss. The artist often
feels as if she is distilling the ancient and presenting it's modern counterpart.
Stumpf's sculpture is
created with non-traditional materials which are often covered with translucent sienna toned paper from
steeped tea bags and then portions are coated with white paint and/or pigmented wax.
The
deconstruction of objects and preparation of materials are some of the longest processes. One of these is
the steeping of hundreds of tea bags at a time. They are steeped in hot water and then placed to dry over
a period of days. The tops are then cut off and the tea is removed. Lastly, the seam is opened and the
delicate paper is flattened. This process feels ritualistic and ceremonial, which adds an incredible layer of
meaning to the work.

Elemental Eye: Living Art by NORMAN BROOMHALL
At 2:00 in the morning not much happens. Yet there it is. Trying not to stare, but having no option, for if you do it right you'll see. Through the window, remnants of last nights events remain scattered on the floor. A candle in it's last moments of life flickers, casting a shimmering glow on the walls. And what walls these are, covered in a thousand different sights. A beauty to behold in some secret memory.
It is there that one enters a place unlike any other. Part art exhibit, part living space,
Norman Broomhall has created an intimate view of his art aesthetics, and provides insight into his personal world. New works, focusing on abstract photography, are surrounded by the fodder of everyday life.
