Gissette Padilla & H. Jennings Sheffield: Transitory Spaces

03 Nov, 2012 - 15 Dec, 2012
Transitory Spaces: The collaborative work of Gissette Padilla and H. Jennings Sheffield investigates the idea of time and physical and psychological space through light and projections.  Their work explores different facets of perceived spaces and layered images.  Padilla creates the physical space utilizing vertical strips of translucent fabric that hang from the ceiling and screen prints layered images and patterns onto the fabric.  These patterns represent the noise and static that is created in the mind as if to fill in the gaps of a memory.  Sheffield then projects videos and sound of re-contextualized personal memories and appropriated family imagery onto the fabrics.  The multiple projections of imagery and sound overlap and distort the visual space.  The projected imagery begins to fill in the missing information and characters in Padilla鈥檚 created spaces and joint moments in time are created.  Upon entering the space, the viewer is encompassed by the projections and asked to walk around and explore the space. As the viewer interacts with the created space and characters, they too become part of the memory.
