This Saturday, May 18th come and celebrate the opening of Lorna William’s second solo show with DODGE gallery: still / birth / shit
DODGEgallery is pleased to present appositions: still / birth / shit, Lorna Williams’ second solo exhibition with the gallery.
Williams’ anthropomorphic sculptures are meticulous amalgams of unlikely and often provocative material juxtapositions. In appositions: still / birth / shit, Williams continues to use the body as her primary subject while focusing on the specific and essential process of birthing and digesting. Plastic teeth, locked hair, root systems, pipes, stones, thorns and snakeskin, are some of the artist’s materials, assembled to form the material ecosystem of each piece and a collective narrative throughout the body of work.
Here’s the facebook event for more information.
