Thrown Stone, Spitten Image
Jul 05, 2019 - Aug 15, 2019
Idioms are expressions that convey a sentiment that cannot be understood solely from the words that make up the phrase. 鈥淎 stone鈥檚 throw鈥� refers to the proximity between places that are close enough that you could throw a stone from one and it would land in the other; 鈥渟pitting image鈥� refers to the resemblance between counterparts that is so remarkable, it is as if the spit of one produced the other. But there are latent and hostile allusions resting on the surface of these phrases. Thrown Stone, Spitten Image considers the literal implications of two commonly used figures of speech to probe and contest issues of power, trauma, and freedom. The works of Blanchard, Davis, foli, and Jones respond to places that are interwoven with aggression and trauma by uprooting these misrepresentations. These artists displace and reform their subjects in order to redirect prevailing narratives.
