Rachel Owens "Harboring"
ZieherSmith
This event has ended.
In her third solo show at ZieherSmith, entitled Harboring, Rachel Owens creates a landscape littered with debris reborn into stilted, anthropomorphic forms and geo-political tableaux. Reforming palettes as pedestals, beer bottles into stained glass, and oil drums as frames, the artist uses reclaimed materials to both recycle and criticize the detritus of industrial and civic waste. In all, the exhibition continues her exploration of paradoxical current affairs as well as our individual tendency to feel powerless to confront the crises of our surroundings. An emotional resonance takes the works beyond any one single issue and into a universal realm.
