This show, which closes tomorrow night, January 29th, features paintings by John Almanza and sculpture by Cameron Crawford. The sculptural work makes use of various materials and techniques in the service of an elaborately specific vision. There are cast concrete and plastic elements, fresh flowers, and 2 large nets or curtains, one of which is constructed by crocheting hundreds of feet of monofilament. This exemplifies a textile technique used to serve unexpected ends and how such techniques can function as part of a larger technical and material vocabulary.--There are also terry cloth towels and some talk of men's briefs . . .
