Meet us for a drink at Morgan Mercantile and then visit the latest piece installed in the SoMa District Fort Worth Micro Park as part of Art Tooth's partnership with Near Southside, Fort Worth and #Artsouth.
The newest installation is Abbie Stellar's "Time Blankets The Frame".
Artist Statement
Considering human nature and the innate yearning for material objects, the installation “Time Blankets the Frame (if only you could see)” is comprised of several larger scale wire and cotton sculptures. The structures, resembling clouds, or perhaps an accumulation of dust, have no definitive form, but rather what is seen is shaped and understood by one’s own memories and experiences.
The work serves as a multi-level portrait of subject, artist, and viewer. Thinking of the subjective nature of looking at clouds, the piece calls upon memory and association. The fragile structure – being made of both wire and cotton, two malleable materials – alludes to the impressions left by experiences and people. “Time Blankets the Frame (if only you could see)” is a symbol of the passage of time, acting as a solid yet delicate structure that provides a symbol and tangibility for lost relationships. Interested in details and subtleties, Abbie Stellar’s work incorporates memory, personal history, and imagination to give definitive forms to intangible things such as time and loss.
