The upcoming exhibition will feature artist Sasha Garza. Garza is a photographer living and working in Irving, Texas. The series “Paperclip Safari” is an exploration of her interest in manipulating ordinary objects into something unexpected. The series originated when she found she had some spare time at work. After experimenting with bending and unbending paperclips she eventually began to build complex forms. Garza studied these forms and became aware of the way light and shadows played on them. She was able to capture this by making these photograms. Garza successfully creates an interesting juxtaposition between the crude whimsical quality of the forms and the more serious scientific x-ray like quality. In 2008 Garza received her BFA in Studio Art, Photography and Printmaking, from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
The opening reception with the artist will be on March 17, 2011 from 5:30pm to 7pm. The exhibition will be on view through April 16, 2011.
