Lori Anne Parker-Danley: Tangled Earth
February 17, 2014-March 28, 2014 Capitol Arts Center Houchens Gallery, SKyPAC
Composed of recent paintings, sculptures, and installation art, Tangled Earth reflects Parker-Danley’s interest in the relationships between art, bodies, language, memory, nature, and time. An exhibition in which books become sunflowers, shoes seem to grow from the earth, and objects are more complex than their surfaces might initially reveal, Tangled Earth disrupts the boundaries we may be tempted to construct between biology and culture, nature and artifice, and human and animal. Works in the exhibition are made of various materials, including aluminum, encaustic, oil paint, paper, plaster,and even recycled shoes and plastic bags.
Above: Tangled Earth, 2013/14. Oil on paper, 22 x 30 in.
Left: Sunflower Book 1 (detail), 2014. Plastic bags on plaster, aluminum wire, encaustic, and glue on dictionary, height: 48 in.
