Bree Banducci Feng: A Past of Plank and Nail
Bree Banducci Feng鈥檚 A Past of Plank and Nail marks the artist's first gallery presentation. Featuring new paintings, drawings, and sculptures that explore the complex interplay between the physical and emotional structures we inhabit. Rooted in her architectural background and engagement with materiality, Feng鈥檚 work bridges the tangible and the intangible, questioning the boundaries between outward environments and inward experiences.
In Feng鈥檚 work, textiles become medium, object, and metaphor, exploring how everyday items of comfort and utility evoke feelings of protection, emotion, and memory鈥攕imilar to a building's facade or the human body. Like architecture, fabric carries a sense of weight and history, invoking the artist鈥檚 childhood surrounded by fabrics and textures, connecting her to her seamstress mother.
Feng's paintings are sculptural, capturing fleeting moments through a dynamic interplay of tension and release enforced by color and texture. Often depicted in motion or with energetic draping, highly rendered fabric becomes a frozen snapshot in time, embodying a fragile yet protective shield. In Feng's drawings, the human body transforms into an architectural space where form and dynamism are explored through sharp and fragmented brush strokes, further reinforcing the connection between physical and emotional states. With A Past of Plank and Nail, Feng offers an intimate exploration of the intersections between fabric, architecture, memory, and emotion.
