Still and Again

With sculptures woven on fishing nets reminiscent of those made and mended for millennia, this show emphasizes the idea of revolving histories. The eponymous Still and Again is a mobius strip in which sea becomes sand becomes sea. Picnic at Dead Horse Bay references the site of a poorly capped midcentury landfill that continually regurgitates the remnants of communities torn apart by eminent domain onto the beach. Accompanying loom-woven objects give dimension to the fragments of people’s lives washed ashore. Digital TC2 weavings reflect anthropomorphic imagery embedded in an airport concrete subfloor stripped of its carpeting during remodeling—with tides of people washing through, airports offer an alternate point of shared humanity.
