This show is so intimate and fecund and alluring and strange. Brilliantly curated by Pamela Meadows. It opens Thursday, June 23rd and we would love to see you there. I am debuting my largest installation to date.
Grossly Affectionate explores hybridity and challenges binaries, such as human/nonhuman, hard/soft, and organic/synthetic. The seven exhibiting artists play with and push against the possibilities and limitations of their materials. Each artist alludes to or references bodily form while abstracting its appearance. As a result, the works evoke interpretations and undertones that reference a body, but are amorphous and oppose definitive categorization. Grossly Affectionate presents the idea that a body can be a host of things: an architectural structure, a virtual space, a landscape, and even a humorous costume.
