2018 Solo Exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington (Arlington, VA)

As part of our the Delaware Contemporary Hennessy Experiment Series, Bend / Breathe investigates interior design, the curated home space, and the visual and tactile accessibility to objects of art. This immersive experience explores visual encounters that dissect the material clutter of desire and consumerism. Does too much warp a sense of aesthetic? Does too little inject a sense of completeness? Furnishings from memory, color, and forms allude to multi-functional art objects, while shapes elbow through the space creating areas of visual rest. Bend/Breathe looks at our relationship to objects of art, the information and the inspiration generated by them, and their ability to revitalize or circumvent desire. This exhibition questions the role of the artist in a society with an aspiration to be modern. How can paintings be multi-functional to highlight the absurdity of convenience. What is the existential role of decorative objects that the viewer uses to ascribe purpose? How does desire and consumerism bend or deflect an object’s purity?
