Featuring contributions by Terri Friedman,
Aimee Goguen, James Hayward and Evan Nesbit, each of the artists in The Weight of Matter challenge their own notions of materiality. Perception is at the core of these artists’ investigations into negotiated space wherein. There is also a nod to more traditional art forms such as weavings and tapestries, the kind of art that forefronts craft, yet has within it the elements of play and magic. These artworks leverage traditional domestic practices, including craft techniques and found objects, to form non-linear, non-objective modes of perception that focus less on the materiality of the work and more on its concepts.
