New work by Rebekka Federle, Julia Vodrey Hendrickson and Liz Wolf.
Curated by Robyn Farrell.
Cut, Bit and Curious presents new work by three artists working with little more than paper, press and blade. The artists utilize traditional practice as a means to play with the process and perception of visual narrative. Pairing ephemera with contemporary context, the densely composed group of work seeks a balance between poetic and whimsical themes with surreal and melancholic harmony. Each artist draws from their own archive of collected materials and experiences, demonstrating the capabilities and impact of paper re-constructed and re-contextualized through material and concept. Poignant and adeptly edited, the images create a hypereality informed by cultural and personal histories. The exhibition challenges the role of paper and hand appropriation in the digital age exploring a new methodology produced from found object and rescued memory.
