The December 2022 - Feburary 2023 show at MPA was reviewed in the Washington Post! Written by Mark Jenkins, here is an excerpt:
“The trees that Ronni Jolles constructs are made merely of paper but are so robust that they sometimes grow beyond frames that can’t quite contain them. “Trees on the Edge: Artwork in Layered Paper,” at McLean Project for the Arts, is a set of landscapes dominated by the strong verticals of trunks and the soft horizontals of birch bark’s black stripes.”
“The Maryland artist overlays scraps of torn paper into 3D vignettes, adding color with acrylic paint. In this show’s works, tree trunks are out front, and backgrounds such as the pink-patched sky of “Winter Light” are literally behind them. The actual distance between top and bottom is shallow but effectively suggests much greater depths. Jolles’s intricate compositions draw the eye both inward and upward.”
