LAURA DAVIS: LEGACY OF LONELINESS

09/12/2015 – 10/24/2015

In Legacy of Loneliness Laura Davis responds to the history of female artists, herself included, working within the field of sculpture. The exhibit features a site-specific wall painting, two furniture based assemblage sculptures, a self portrait, and an installation of small wall works.  Also shown for the first time are a series of Davis’ large graphite drawings on Stonehenge paper that layer the imagery found in such canon-establishing art anthologies such texts as Albert E. Elsen’s 1974 edition of Origins of Modern Sculpture, Pioneers and Premises.
