• WINTER: Justin Chance & Sylvie Hayes-Wallace

    February 24 - April 1, 2023
  • Winter is a word, feeling, thought, season— a blank space which contains the multitudes and the nothingness of timelines remembered and those yet to be written.  
    In Winter, sculptures, drawings, embroidery, collage, language, and installation reflect on the literal and interpersonal interpretations of the season: as construct, objective truth, method, and frame of mind. Eventually most things come to a conclusion in preparation for spring.

  • Cage (Privacy) is a stand-in for the artist; a columnar glass cage based on the dimensions of the artist’s body. The hollow cage is lined with ephemera from the artist life— printed self-help listicles on “how to be more decisive”, song lyrics, envelopes, notes, and photographs line the interior of the glass structure to create a barrier of privacy between her internal space and the outside world.

  • Cage (Winter) is a wire cage based off the dimensions of the artists head, lined with plastic sheeting used to line the windows of domestic space before winter. The spatialization of the artist’s interiority becomes a portrait of the artist, composed of materials from her daily life. Receipts, perfume samples, a pad wrapper, scraps from an old t-shirt, notes, and floss are all neurotically woven into the structure of the cage, akin to the way one might adorn their living space with fragments from their world.

  • In My Deviated Septum (January 2023) the artist has accumulated medical tape used to keep her mouth closed while she sleeps. Each piece of tape is added to the work when she wakes up along with the date. The resulting work becomes both a calendar and a portrait of the artist.
