Keeping Up Appearances
Ashley Blalock
Site-specific Crotchet Installation
January 28 – February 24

Lecture: Thursday, January 28, 12:30 - 1pm
Receptions: Thursday, January 28, 1 - 2pm & 5 - 7 pm
California based artist, Ashley Blalock, creates objects and site-specific installations inspired by everyday artifacts from the domestic sphere. Through her work, she explores themes of discomfort and the coping mechanisms used to provide solace from the stress and trauma of modern life. Blalock offers the slow, methodical process of crotchet as a remedy to a world increasingly comprised of virtual connections, quick transitions, planned obsolescence and instant gratification. Keeping Up Appearances is comprised of giant red doilies that take on a life of their own as they crawl up the gallery walls and swallow the viewer. Instead of serving as benign little white furniture coverings, these red forms unsettle viewers and demand their attention, hinting at a darker reality at home.
