Gardiner graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1974. In 2005, she moved upstate to Catskill, New York, where she and her husband renovated and restored the former Lyceum, a Federal-era building located in this historic village.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5457\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-2.jpg\" alt=\"ginnie-gardiner-studio-2\" width=\"532\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-2.jpg 532w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-2-300x245.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-2-260x212.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-2-160x131.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;I work to achieve a synthesis of my photographs of the figure and my photographs of the architectural and landscape elements drawn from the interior and exterior of my home and studio in upstate New York, an early 1800s Federal building.

Since moving upstate from New York City in 2005, my subjects are derived from my immediate surroundings, whereas in my earlier work in the 1980s and 1990s, I built collage studies from historical sources combined with contemporary figures pulled from magazines and my own photographs of dancers.&#8221;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5459\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-4.jpg\" alt=\"ginnie-gardiner-studio-4\" width=\"532\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-4.jpg 532w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-4-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-4-260x174.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-4-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><br \/>\nCecil Touchon of the <a href=\"http:\/\/collagemuseum.com\/\">International Museum of Collage, Assemblage and Construction<\/a>, writes about Gardiner&#8217;s collage, \u201cCollage is often thought of as a medium of disjunction and the shock of unrelated forms clashing against each other. But collage can also be about the careful fitting together of unrelated parts to add up to a new cohesive unity. Gardiner&#8217;s collages fall into the latter category where the forms and colour systems she employs are governed by a painter&#8217;s eye that looks for resonant relationships. This is evidenced by the compositions&#8217; linear structures where the edges of one form moves along a certain trajectory that connects to the linear movement of adjoining forms and at the same time creates the containment of negative spaces that teeter on becoming positives.\u201d<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5460\" src=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-5.jpg\" alt=\"ginnie-gardiner-studio-5\" width=\"532\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-5.jpg 532w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-5-260x173.jpg 260w, https:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/Ginnie-Gardiner-studio-5-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px\" \/><br \/>\nTo learn more about Ginnie Gardiner, visit her <a href=\"http:\/\/kolajmagazine.com\/artistdirectory\/ginnie-gardiner\" target=\"_blank\">Kolaj Magazine Artist Directory page<\/a> and her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ginniegardiner.com\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>In the Studio is an online-only feature of <\/em>Kolaj Magazine<em> where we peek inside the studios of collage artists.
