Intermission

Five Walls Projects, March 7th - 29th, 2025

A sculptural installation bringing together a range of materials and found objects; combining my fascination with the metaphorical potential of everyday items with a playful subversion of art-historical tropes. Inspired by the poet Jorie Graham’s words, “How I wish there were an intermission / A velvet curtain would descend / To let the story cool off / for a while / So we could catch up”,  the exhibition invites viewers to step away from the current rush of reality.

At the heart of Intermission is the idea of suspension, not only as a physical condition but as a metaphor for the potentiality of the in-between. I use gravitational pull as a means of shaping sculptural forms, with geometric abstract paintings casually draped over rods made of wood and metal, held in place by magnets and hung at varying heights. In this series, I'm aiming to disrupt the inherent formality of the paintings’ velvet surface, introducing a tension between affect and austerity, between control and release.
