Slit - Silt

2019

Slit - Silt was a solo exhibition of sculpture and performance at Chicago’s Ground Level Platform in March of 2019. All work in the show was produced during a year long residence at Chico MacMurtrie’s Robotic Church in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The vast majority of the materials used for the show were collected along New York City’s East River water front over the course of a year. For more during this residency see: Microcosms, Cairns, Crabs, Taxonomies, and Ruins.
