In her first New York City solo exhibit, Minnesota sculptor Tiffany Besonen has constructed the mixed medium installation AMBIOTIC, predominantly of sewing pattern paper, beeswax, her own hair, and vintage wooden ironing boards. The installation, inspired by the whole-body experience of mothering, contains a large two-panel painted collage of the poem I Am Smoke When I Can Be by LouAnn Shepard Muhm and a three-part sculptural construction connecting three altered wooden ironing boards with layered paper pear forms that are strung through and suspended above the ironing board forms that curve through the L-shaped gallery.
Tiffany Besonen constructs installation narratives investigating: identity, Finnish heritage, biology, aging, and family dynamics. Besonen uses materials associated with traditional female roles, subtly calling those roles into question, without discarding the materials and traditions entirely.
AMBIOTIC is on display in Gallery Two. In Gallery 1, the group exhibit Adam's Rib, Eve's Air in Her For more information, or visuals, contact Carl Eckhoff at SOHO20 Chelsea by e-mail: soho20@verizon.net by phone: (212) 367- 8994. |
