Event Details : 'Raveling Texts' Kevin McCarthy, Danielle Smith-Llera and Eva Gustafson.
"Raveling Texts" is an exhibit which invites reading, or following the unraveling thread of an idea. Fittingly, the verb "to ravel" can mean its own opposite, "to unravel." It can mean both to entangle and disentangle, to complicate and simplify. These works acknowledge an admiration of traditional craft processes, but also a desire to challenge them. The artists, as outsiders to the craft heritage, strive to disassemble traditional forms and processes.
Yet the contradictory meanings of raveling suggest that taking something apart also creates something new. In weaving, Kevin McCarthy has found an axis between developing and developed worlds, between the natural and synthetic, the traditional and contemporary. Early work in 16mm animation informs Danielle Smith-Llera's current work which explores how motion transforms line, rendering it dynamic and even narrative. Eva Gustafson's experiments with mixed media seek to challenge her own preconceptions about the process of painting itself.
