A solo show exhibition at Gallery 825Gallery 825 in Los Angeles, California is pleased to present INcongruence, a solo show exhibition by Diane Williams. Diane Williams’ works include several disciplines to approach the subject of xenophobia and gender bias. As an immigrant and a woman of color, Williams seeks to find a common ground between the art she makes and the community at large. The project aims to reflect the immigrant communities as well as the whole nation at large, illustrating the idea of an extended community while challenging assumptions and norms. INcongruence involves a participatory art piece and an installation that will confront viewers, turning them into active participants. The installation consists of 8 large modules made out of wire, recycled and manipulated fiber such as: yarn, thread, fabric, and shredded paintings, interwoven together and creating an immersive structure that fills Gallery 825’s largest front space. These materials have personal history, discarded or purchased from the artist’s neighborhood Thrift Shop in Glassell Park and the Fabric District in Downtown Los Angeles called Santee Alley, frequented by many lower and middle income immigrant families. Williams intertwined these elements into modular weavings, reminiscent of protest signs and roadside memorials that will operate as obstructions, confinement and disruptions. The polychromatic modules are an amalgamation of diverse textures and components. A reminder that America is clearly divided as a nation but we have more in common than we are often led to believe. Diversity is what makes this country great.
