TO DISCARD; TO CHERISH Fiber installations by CLARISSA CALLESEN
JAN 11 – FEB 2
at the Viking Union gallery 5th floor gallery, hours M-F 11-5
Artist reception: Sat Jan 20, 3 pm
Q&A with artist: Wed Jan 24, 5 pm
These installations call attention to the fabrics that adorn and comfort us. Investigating the relationships with them and their connection to the environment. Callesen addresses what happens to the fabrics we cherish after they are no longer needed, merging reclaimed materials like bedsheets and wedding dress lace with rocks, soot, and rust to craft a space to explore, between ourselves, each other, and the outside world.
