sea salt // stone air

@ ARTRUSS

4553 W Diversey Ave, Chicago, IL 60639

Opening Friday, February 28th, from 6PM - 9PM

On view through Friday, April 11th

sea salt // stone air is a group exhibition of Sophia Karina English, Thom Romero, bex ya yolk, Jules Koreman, ESO MALFLOR, Kate Humphrey, & Fengzee Yang curated by micah dillman. These artists are connected through their ability to manipulate materials from the earth to produce precisely crafted objects. Each included artwork perfectly holds the artist’s lived experiences. The works allow the audience to enter into that experience and take something with them–changing a small part of themself through viewing.

micah met each one of these makers in the wild—whether that be the literal wilderness, through happenstance, or cosmic timing, therefore tying the group through a spiritual (or otherwise) connection. sea salt // stone air presents a grouping of sculptural, textile, and print based works engaging an overlap of personal experiences and nature (god)–given materials. The show explores the manipulation of form to tell an emotional tale and the weight of a subtle gesture.
