Join us for the exhibition reception of
KATE JACKSON - NOTHING IS TOO EMPTY A PLACE TO GO.
NOTHING IS TOO EMPTY A PLACE TO GO is an exhibition of laboriously embroidered works on perishable materials. These objects are constructed of materials with a short life span, bringing up questions of what it means to give love, time, and attention to something that will soon expire. The embroidered paper towels, pile of leaves, flower arrangements, and insects will slowly perish during the course of the exhibition. Utilizing surfaces considered too weak to withstand needle and thread, Jackson alludes to ideas of loss, grieving, patience and ritual./KATE JACKSON works with fragile embroidery, using materials often too weak to withstand needle and thread. This gesture translates into themes of patience, grief, intimacy, and yearning.
