Elegy for Exported DesireMarch 29 - April 2 / Herbert F Johnson Museum of Art, Ithaca NY
Collages of patterns from Chinese export porcelain are projected onto blank vases and bowls, deconstructing these historical vessels. The directionality of projection in the gallery creates looming shadows of the vases against the projections, forming echoes between these iconic objects and their representations. The blank vessels sit atop a bed of woodblock prints that depict instances of melancholia, both personal and cultural. Projection of collages made from found photos, Bisque-fired stoneware, Woodcut prints, Gesso with acrylic paint on found wood
