Sara VanDerBeek,
‘Pieced Quilts,
Wrapped Forms’
@ Metro Pictures
—
“I think that
illusiveness has a
lot to do with
experience. I’m
trying to translate
to the viewer that
sense of how
your experience
of something is
always evolving.”
Born:
1976, Baltimore.
The exhibition:
Is the New York-
based artist's
second solo at
Metro Pictures –
influenced by
textiles, quilt
making & weaving,
VanDerBeek presents
large complexly
colored abstract
photographs alongside
minimal, totemic
sculptures made of
pigmented concrete
and painted plaster
and wood.
Poetic reference:
E. E. Cummings.
“I was studying
his poetry and the
various stages of
his manuscripts
thinking about how
his work translates
his experiences
into this beautiful,
succinct — but
also abstract and
layered language.”
