6 Feet Apart @ Transmission

Transmission Gallery San Francisco
35 Bartlett St., San Francisco, CA 94110 (map)
Fridays – Sundays, 1-6 pm (viewable 24/7)

February 17 – March 26 — EXTENDED TO APRIL 9, 2023
Opening Reception: Sunday, February 19
Closing Reception: Saturday, March 25

 

I will present a grid of 6 Feet Apart images as a window installation at this wonderful gallery near my studio in the Mission. The installation includes a large banner and a series of smaller images on the sidewalk, outside the window display, and trailing up and down the street. In the gallery are framed and unframed prints. Also a limited edition sticker set.

There will be 2 other concurrent solo shows in the gallery: Lynn Beldner and Steve Briscoe. Next door is the work of Jerry Barrish.

The gallery writes “On the one hand they are visually compelling abstract elements, on the other, stark reminders of the anxiety and anguish that led to their ubiquitous placement around the city. While the intensity at the height of the pandemic period had a tremendous impact on our collective experience, these markers remain as evidence and yet fade into routine and unremarked elements, easily dismissed as one traverses the city, now at times bumping shoulders with passersby along the street.”

Installation at Transmission Gallery, SF, 2023

At the heart of the “Burn Line” installation is a At the heart of the “Burn Line” installation is a Suikinkitsu, a traditional Japanese acoustic device. The room is designed around it, and I was told I could cover it up with photographs, but I wanted to highlight it as the “hearth” of the house. To deepen the themes of transition and mourning, I surrounded this stone basin with carbonized wood and ritual charcoal, creating a somber, grounding centerpiece for the room. The installation invites you to sit and reflect on the material journey from wood to ash while listening to the delicate, subterranean echoes of the water koto. It’s designed as a kind of healing object around water and my work is a kind of healing object around fire so they compliment one another.

The exhibition is a meditation on process and loss, and I would love for you to experience it before it closes.

This was an amazing exhibition in a beautiful beautiful building that actually has two tea rooms (in two styles @urasenke) in it. For an extra fee, they serve Matcha in the tea room. It’s not a full Tea Ceremony where they make the tea in front of you but it’s a mini Tea experience with a custom-made wagashi confectionary that was made just for the show and matches the aesthetics of the artist’s photographs. The photographs are beautiful, but the context of the exhibition design adds so much to the experience and of course that’s one of the greatest strengths of the kyotographie festival.
