Jim Hodges "New Work"
Dieu Donné
This event has ended.
Hodges is widely known for investigations into the materiality of his art–his own exploration and conceptual use of a chosen media, both everyday and exotic. In this exhibition of new works, the artist continues his investigation of a familiar medium that has often captured his attention–paper. Hodges’s return to Dieu Donné is his first since his 2002 Lab Grant residency, which was the artist’s introduction to hand papermaking, during which he created drawings from richly colored paper pulp. In this new body of unique works, Hodges exploits the material qualities of paper through sculpture. By cutting, folding, and at times working into the wet stages of the papermaking process, Hodges exposes the luxe organic elements of paper.
