This three person exhibition Autonomous Bodies featured the work of the three new resident artists, Kathy Liao, Benjamin Rosenthal and me. It was on view from May 14 through June 15, 2018, at Studios, Inc. in Kansas City. The show explored the ways in which the three of us address issues related to the body. I’m particularly interested in the timeless relationship of the body to the landscape. My piece, Rift, was related to systems both in the body and the landscape, such as neurological and vascular systems as well as roots that burrow deeply into the soil. I also had a series of photographs, abstractions derived from pyrography, that blurred line the line between flesh and the cosmos, sand and skin, the unknown and the knowable.
