InTension

November 30, 2007 – March 22, 2008

Installation by Alisa Dworsky

 

Nested within the “exhibition” box of the gallery, a small yellow hand-crocheted room is supported in tension by a series of counterweights. Drawings suspended on a far wall echo the crocheted forms, suggesting mass and weight through an emphasis on line and movement. Dworsky’s piece explores the potential of gravity to provide structural support, but also to distort form.
