INHABITFriday Nov 8, 6-9pm
INHABIT is a sight specific exhibition poised somewhere between installation and abstract line drawing. On the white gallery walls Edyta Stepien visualizes a natural surrounding that exists only in the subconscious realm. She creates large scale wall pieces using a similar process as in her ink drawings. Abstract lines and patterns fill the walls and transform the place into a vibrant environment. Patches of vegetation and weed-like textures made from paper blossom on the gallery walls. These works are attempts to expand the notion of drawing into a space, map memory of landscapes and evoke a sense of nature invading.
The Opening Reception Friday, November 8th, 6-10pm,
The Closing Reception Saturday, November 23rd, 6-9pm.
