‘This exhibition brings together seven artists: Isela Aguirre collages material that masquerades as painting into forms that defy strictures of support; larí garcía’s sculptures evoke records of breath and the body as a present absence; Seneca Garcia uses language and gesture to rescue the poetic from the banal; Jade Mellor employs photography to document space and light and then enlists painting’s luminescent capabilities to present her findings; Abinadi Meza’s brilliantly colored paintings serve as support for the film-in-production and as a direct record of time and touch; Jamie Sterling Pitt’s water table made out of reclaimed materials celebrates the multiplicity of language and serves as an interactive way-station for making drawings and watercolors on site; William Warden uses a form of bricolage to construct his self-cannibalizing paintings.’
