SUMMARY:Natalie Gerber: load
DESCRIPTION:As an artist and a maker\\, Natalie Gerber is interested in m
 etamorphosis\\, flux\\, and endless cycles of becoming\\, learning\\, and
  unlearning. In this new\\, site-specific installation\\, Gerber brings t
 ogether ceramic and textile to consider the transformative potential of w
 eight\\, gravity\\, and duration.\\nload begins with a constellation of c
 eramic forms that alternately evoke rocks\\, eggs\\, or celestial bodies.
  The forms are slip-cast\\, a process wherein liquid clay is poured into 
 a mold\\, forming a skin-like surface which is revealed when the mold is 
 released. Close inspection of the ceramics reveal the gradations within G
 erber’s process\\, particularly the slow deterioration of the slip-cast
  molds. Suspended above the ceramic forms is a sculptural silk lattice th
 at cascades down the space akin to a net\\, veil\\, or shroud. To create 
 the lattice\\, Gerber laser-cuts individual modules of fused silk with a 
 pattern that allows the two-dimensional fabric to expand into three-dimen
 sions when pinned together and draped. In turn\\, the silk lattice will e
 volve slowly across the duration of the installation\\, gradually expandi
 ng like a lung or a ribcage.\\nWhile the body is not represented directly
 \\, it imbues Gerber’s work\\, appearing in the dimpled flesh of the ce
 ramics\\, and the corporeal drape and fascia-like web of the silk lattice
 . Like the fallible\\, malleable human body\\, her work is never fixed or
  static either. Rather\\, it is continuously shaped and re-shaped by the 
 unrelenting forces of gravity and time.\\nhttps://www.gayout.com/usa-cana
