Touching the Hem

Artist: Theresa Emrick

Date: January 30 to February 21, 1998 

This artist works in the conceptual region known as the "grey area," the territory that temporarily escapes conclusion and has equal weight in social constructs like cultural norms, language, technology, and other realms. This was the basis for a series of drawings where the answer was flexible, one without fixed boundaries and open to change. These large scale drawings, accompanied by very small framed drawings, felt not hard, but spongy, they looked semi-solid but exuded a pure beauty and elegance that devoured the viewer, which asked what is happening between the two actions: drawing and viewing?
