Amy Boone-McCreesh and Amber Cobb: Negotiating Spaces

27 Mars - 1 Mai 2021

Présentation

With ample time spent indoors in recent months, artists Amy Boone-McCreesh and Amber Cobb respond to a heightened awareness of bodies and the interiors they occupy. How we negotiate space with ourselves and each other, and the physical venues where these questions play out have been distilled to dazzling visual outcomes.

Physical space, punctuated by interior design and encased by architecture, draws attention to the people and things we surround ourselves with. As living bodies move past each other, negotiations are made. Day in and day out we are reflected in our selections. We may better understand ourselves through these choices and furthermore, we are understood by others through these selections.

Peering through curtained windows, around security bars, and past fence posts, Amy Boone McCreesh’s maximal collage and installation works consider the signifiers of class and beauty from the inside looking out.

Steeped in the confines of domestic space, Amber Cobb’s biomorphic sculptures consider function and utility in their delightfully awkward attempts to hold space.
