Brenda Mallory: In the Absence of Instruction

In the solo exhibition, Brenda Mallory includes prints, multi-media and installation artworks to consider the complex relationships and structures of power and identity.  In the Absence of Instruction explores an intersection of themes from the past and present to express new forms of cultural knowledge despite historical disruption.

Brenda Mallory is a multi-disciplinary artist primarily working in mixed media sculptural works comprised of a variety of materials including cloth, fibers, beeswax, and found objects.  By creating multiple forms that are joined with crude hardware that imply tenuous connections or repairs, her work addresses ideas of interference in long-established systems of nature and human cultures.
