Extra
September 2020
That’s so extra. Extra. More than necessary. Absolutely too much. Over-the-top. A performance. A not-letting-it-go. “Doing the absolute most for no damn reason.”
In this show, the work is doing the absolute most for very good reasons. This work says, Form shouldn’t stop at function. Form should be extra. Material should be extra. The material itself has an agenda. Embroidery asks for more embroidery. Glitter asks for more glitter. The things themselves overtake us. The wall asks for wallpaper.
This exhibition was hosted by The Cathedral in Ballard.
