Suzanne Goldenberg, having worked in a variety of media including drawing, collage, textiles and video, has chosen to focus on her more recent work in sculpture for this show. Through an improvisational process, she transforms found and scavenged materials, often what might be considered detritus and of no apparent value, into highly unexpected sculptural compositions that bear traces of the emotional, the architectural and the comic, but are ultimately non-literal. In these sculptures, the materials retain their histories as the waste by-product of our consumer society, but through sensitivity to their other possible lives, Goldenberg also transforms them into rich materials forming precarious structures poised between growth and collapse.
John Stanley’s series of photographs, entitled In a Hidden Place, explore tensions that exist between the natural world and urban culture. These photographs depict clearings within city parks, hidden from public areas. Some pictures show traces of a human presence, while others depict a natural environment, with only a hint of usage implied. These scenes evoke a sense of an improvised domestic space, one that questions the nature of what a habitation could be.
