Agnes Berecz writes of New York artist Jill Moser’s work, “[Moser] gives emphasis to the eroticism both of the material and the gesture without openly organic or bodily connotations. Through the diptych form, she opens up her the space suggesting continuities between images and transforming them into a double figure. Moser’s work addresses and operates through relationships and ambivalence: it is about the links and disruptions that exist among acts and forms of art making.” (Essay from David Krut Fine Art, New York).
