Fragments of Belonging at GearBox Gallery
July 9 @ 12:00 pm - August 15 @ 5:00 pm
GearBox Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of paintings by Dalit Fresco and sculpture by Jan Blythe in this two person show, Fragments of Belonging. July 9 – August 15th. Blythe and Fresco share a similar journey of immigration, the experience of which is ingrained in the process as well as the imagery of their work. Whether it’s personal items compiled into cultural forms or from memories carried across great distances, past or present.
Dalit’s paintings draw personal memories from both real and imagined occurrences, translating them into undeniable emotional views. Her investigations move from inward outward, and from the specific towards wholeness. There is a longing that is inherently seeking cover, shelter, and solid ground.
Jan is unearthing similar longings by compiling, assembling, and weaving with both personal and found objects. These materials are seemingly mundane yet gain a new life, form and meaning under her hands. The dialogue between the painted surfaces and the objects is synchronized in a shared language, rhythm, and symbol.
Gearbox Gallery is open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays 12 – 5pm
