“appositions: still / birth / shit”
Lorna Williams
DODGEgallery, 15 Rivington St., NYC
Williams’ anthropomorphic sculptures are meticulous amalgams of unlikely and often provocative material juxtapositions. In appositions: still / birth / shit, Williams continues to use the body as her primary subject while focusing on the specific and essential process of birthing and digesting. Plastic teeth, locked hair, root systems, pipes, stones, thorns and snakeskin, are some of the artist’s materials, assembled to form the material ecosystem of each piece and a collective narrative throughout the body of work. - thru June 29
