Katy Cowan "Wedge," 2013, cement, hand-loomed weaving, and fabric dye. 50 x 25 x 3 inches @ ltd los angeles








Given to a conversation of architectural contingency of the past (the artist's studio remnants) and present (gallery installation) and provisionality, I was taken by the one here that stands on its own. I started my day thinking about how color holds the world together. This sculpture was my first interaction with the "outside" world and I found its concrete application (pun intended) to be a pleasant continuation of said thoughts.  Not only is such a thread of inquiry part of a current trend, but it's also timeless.
