Like the ordering principles in Roozen\u2019s individual pieces, each artwork in the exhibition enters a dialogue with the other works and finds a \u2018common ground\u2019 based on their similarities and styles. The exhibition includes drawings in graphite as well as embossings on paper.<\/p>\n<p>In Roozen\u2019s drawings, she meticulously fills blank sheets until not a single spot is left open. In doing so, the artist ensures that minimal differences in gesture, hatching, and rhythm have a reinforcing effect and create new structures. Changes in tone, light, or contrast reveal hidden spaces and volumes that touch, rotate, merge, or slide past one another. The works, therefore, invite the viewer to look again and again, in changing perspectives, from the smallest element to the bigger picture and vice versa. Meditative and labor intensive, Roozen\u2019s artworks often take many weeks to complete: pushing against the current culture of efficiency and time pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1408\" height=\"2000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-89746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2.jpeg 1408w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2-211x300.jpeg 211w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2-725x1030.jpeg 725w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2-768x1091.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2-1081x1536.jpeg 1081w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2-1056x1500.jpeg 1056w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2-496x705.jpeg 496w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW2-450x639.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-89745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1-1030x686.jpeg 1030w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1-1500x1000.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1-705x470.jpeg 705w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW1-450x300.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_full  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1333\" height=\"2000\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-89748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4.jpeg 1333w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4-686x1030.jpeg 686w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4-1000x1500.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4-470x705.jpeg 470w, https:\/\/nlisus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/SHOW4-450x675.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1333px) 100vw, 1333px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/121255"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=121255"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/121255\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":128811,"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/121255\/revisions\/128811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nlisus.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=121255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
