Invisible Transmissions
opening reception friday dec 4
dec 4 - jan 16

Taking inspiration from the cellular structures of plants, this work invents its own vegetal organism, one that grows and proliferates to such an extent that it multiplies right off the paper, in the form of porcelain "cells".  The addition of this sculptural element makes what appears from a distance to be two-dimensional work actually a hybrid between drawing and sculpture.  For the past few years I have been aware of the enormous changes happening to our environment on a molecular scale, one that is all but invisible, and therefore relatively abstract. By illustrating a family of imaginary, multiplying cells, I am mapping the changes I see around me, however personal and abstract the results may be.
