Description

Kelly Dzioba is a Philadelphia based artist who creates recursive textiles and objects inspired by the structure, tactile experience, and visual language of textiles. Curated by Erika Diamond, Assistant Director of CVA Galleries, Counterbalance features women working primarily in the media of Wood & Textiles (Liz Collins, Phoebe Cuo, Annie Evelyn, Kelly Dzioba, Ruby Troup, Heather MacKenzie, and Amanda Martinez), using a hybridized language of adornment and structure. Wood objects drape over corners and conform to the body, while textiles muscle in with bold color and rigid form. Works straddle both floor and wall in this exhibition that plays with our understanding of hard edges and soft curves.
