Abraham Cone: Rustle up a Plume of Silt
@ Chicago Artists Coalition
2130 W Fulton St, Unit B, Chicago, IL 60612
Opening Friday, May 3rd, from 5PM - 8PM
On view through Thursday, June 27th
Chicago Artists Coalition is pleased to announce Rustle up a Plume of Silt, a solo exhibition by 2023-24 BOLT Resident Abraham Cone.
Rustle up a Plume of Silt culminates fourteen months of image-making undertaken during Cone’s BOLT Residency. Works span large-format painting, paper-making, etching, collage, and garland making. Wafting tendrils gust across media and between works, joining materials Cone has gleaned and held to his bosom: desiccated plants accumulate into handmade papers; walnut hulls are fermented into inks; sandstone is mulled into paint. In the fusing of vegetable and mineral pigments with hide glues and oils, there is also a binding together of sacred friendships, and relations with the more than human.
Featured in the exhibition is a small edition of etchings, printed in collaboration with Pigeonhole Press on paper made with plant fibers gathered across the midwest.
The opening reception will be on May 3 from 5-8pm.
