Unrequited Love
In this exhibition, one鈥檚 鈥渦nrequited love鈥� stands as a metaphor for the artists鈥� yearning to grasp at something in their work that remains forever outside of their reach. This longing, desire, and tension remain present in the physical objects that are the results of individual pursuit. Each of the artists in this exhibition value the sense of touch and the physical tension in making their works, embedding them with an emotion that eludes being captured with words. The process in the studio becomes a love song between the makers and the objects that they make. Desire, dreaming, wanting, release, disappointment, revenge, confusion, and the possibility of satisfaction are the churning emotions that spur artists to make new artworks. We also look back at past artworks, our old lovers, to understand and find the new ones. This exhibition presents narrative manifestations of 鈥渦nrequited love鈥� through the stages of complicated afairs and their aftermath.
