Sherry Williams also showed with the crawl last year and is definitely an artist to watch, her sculptures are particularly powerful. Information about her latest work is below.
"Solitary" is my most recent work.The sculpture is about 6.5' tall and about 6x7 wide. The piece is a spiral that gradually becomes narrower as the viewer enters until they reach a small room. The floor has small bit of wood that snap with each step creating a certain rhythm that concludes with a pause once in the room.
The interior space of "Solitary" is just enough room for the body. There are 4 concave mirrors above that create an illusionary escape for the viewer, while creating a sense of surveillance.
The piece is a continuation of my "Door Series" which is a body of work that studies domestic architectural elements and their relationship to the body. They are autobiographical in content, metaphorical mirrors for the domain of the private and public.
The paintings are mostly are recent as well, combining collage and domestic paint. The collage materials are carefully collected pieces of 'womens' handiwork, overlaid with paint. A sort of archive if you will of cast-off domestic labor.
