soft answer

Self-curated exhibition by

Tali Halpern, Madison Nelson, and Brianna Perry

 

soft answer brings together recent work from Tali Halpern, Madison Nelson, and Brianna Perry, who all critically investigate the intersection of fiber and painting. Saturation and self-fashioning are critical to the artists’ construction (and deconstruction) of the picture plane, with each artist employing stylized and distorted colors to communicate their subjectivities. Depictions of memory, personal narratives, and familial histories acknowledge the past as always in transformation. Through traditional textile and surface design processes, including weaving, quilting, dyeing, and screenprinting, the artists translate digital and analog imagery, repurposing the traditionally white masculine history of painting to their ends.
