S. Nicole Lane: Carved from Sausage
@ Sustain Gallery
1201 W Leland Ave, Chicago, IL 60640
Opening Friday, March 2nd, from 7PM - 10PM
On view through Saturday, March 31st
During the month of March, Sustain will host Carved from Sausage, a solo exhibition from artist and writer S. Nicole Lane.
Nicole’s artistic practice is deeply rooted and dedicated to exploring her personal narrative and how her body belongs in a space that continuously brawls with her. She primarily works with latex material to create a dialogue with her emotional physical and emotional obstacles that her body imposes on her. Tools used for dilation, protection, and resilience are all necessary to Nicole’s practice where she imagines objects that do not subscribe to any binary shape.
Utilizing assemblage and sculpture, Nicole’s work draws attention to the fragile and the grotesque. Her work aims to reduce the body to a lump, a knot, a never-ending coil which eradicates our past knowledge of the human form. The title, Carved From Sausage, is derived from the Biblical idea that women come from men.
