INTERWOVEN FEATURING WORK BY: MUSICAL PERFORMANCES BY: Interwoven is a new group show featuring a wealth of talented female artists with unique visions. The title and theme of the show is fairly open-ended and apolitical, which is how it was presented to the participating artists. As a result, you’ll find fresh aesthetic, conceptual, and performative variations - some literal, others more subtle or subjective. Erin Brookey, Eve Ekman, Judith Thomas, Carrie Vawter, and Amanda Beane weave intricate installations that are at once visually arresting and spatially interactive, using space and medium in alternative ways referencing art forms traditionally coded as gendered craft. Grim sketches, found material, and various detritus are surgically sewn together to form intense landscapes in Monica Canilao’s immersive mixed media work. Michelle Pedersen stitched together photos and paintings of disjointed mangled limbs, forging a dislocated body of thread and image. Lorraine Caley’s work blends fine art and fashion, function and form. Torrey Herbenar's mixed media triptych mixes photographs and wire figures while Jana Flynn mixes ceramics with wood and wire. Amber Maclean’s large ink on rice paper scroll adds western whimsicality to eastern aesthetics, while photographs by Lindsey Byrnes, Danielle Graham, Kamilla Cox and Katy Zaugg capture time and space in the posterity of silence. In the earlier moments of the show, Jamie Duggan of Aerial Assault will be suspended from the air, surrounded by flowing fabric and spatial tension in somnolent oceanic movements to a sound installation created from the sounds of water. Her movements will be displayed continuously throughout the night in a video installation with sound. Mary Scott, Camille Johnson, Lola, Anneke Hiatt, Ms. Mikki, Amanda Beane, Ashley Nunn, Brittany Howard, and Tiffany Star have created a diverse array of drawings, prints, and paintings. In some, the sinister and the defiled are fused with the serene and the determined, giving an accessible facelift to the sorely undesirable elements and emotions of life. In others, ambiguity and sincerity are realized in esoteric abstraction. We feel that Interwoven offers an important opportunity to view a large collection of art created by women working in disparate genres from various backgrounds and perspectives, without an obvious agenda lording over or contextualizing their work. We hope you’ll come by and see for yourself. Chris Fitzpatrick, ONSIX GALLERY |
