Ruby Chishti “The Tide Turns”
Aicon Gallery
This event has ended.
Ruby Chishti’s exquisite and compelling collection of fabric sculptures explores her lifelong experimentation in melding the materials of found garments and social memory. For this exhibition, Chishti has carefully dissembled the fabrics of found clothing to produce recycled materials for her creative reweaving of memory and time. As the artist systematically dissembles the clothing of unknown wearers, she passes the bodily traces and cultural spirit of those already touched by these filaments into vibrant sculptures that bear witness to the passage of custom and costume. The material transformation of these fiberous specters of the unknown into architectonics of exquisite shape and haunting color bear the corporeal residue of the garments’ prior carriers, not to mention the artist’s creative manipulation and cultural memory. - Timothy Murray
