Reading a Life. So Far.
Exhibition
Pareidolla: the imagined perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist.
The exhibition Reading a Life. So Far is comprised of mixed media sculptural works that create fragmented memories and voices. Turning 75. wondering. pareidolia: the imagined perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist. cherish. longing. equanimity. you make things to try and understand things. abandon. to halt something in progress—just stop it in its tracks. perhaps the life you’ve always known, the easy familiarity of the culture you’ve been breathing all these years. the electric tension in that pause. what now?
Work includes collaborations with Ginny Hoyle and Kyoko Ono.
