Anne Wilson:Rewinds

I recently saw, and would recommend, Chicago based artist Anne Wilson's show at Rhona Hoffman Gallery. "Employing found materials such as table linen, human hair, and lace, Wilson explores themes of time, loss, and private and social rituals." Although, in this new show, Wilson uses glass, inspired by a 2005 residency at Pilchuck Glass School: "There, she became interested in the relationship between textile processes and glass fabrication: fibrous and flexible when molten, glass bends, spins, winds, and wraps. By translating fiber bobbin-winding and rewinding into glass, Wilson exploits aesthetic analogies between two distinct materials and modes of production."

The show runs through 2-18-11.
