You Are A Circle Expanded / Glass Curtain Gallery at Columbia College Chicago / Chicago, IL / 2024
In You Are a Circle Expanded, I delve deeper into my ongoing exploration of weaving designs, not just as decorative symbols but as carriers of emotional resonance and cultural memory. The sculptural installation evokes open-ended narratives while exposing the often invisible systems that shape our world, making abstract concepts like memory, language, and information both visible and tangible.
The monotypes in this exhibition unravel the intricacies of weaving itself, revealing its underlying layers and textures through a series of nonlinear abstractions. These works form a personal pictorial language that echoes the fluidity of folkloric storytelling, where meaning shifts and evolves with interpretation. At the same time, they situate the viewer within a broader narrative, evoking intimate settings such as the table, where the threads of daily life intertwine with the symbolic, transforming the ordinary into something poetic.
