Description

Working in distinct styles and media, Zilvinas Kempinas, Alyson Shotz, and Mary Temple explore the transformative properties of light, underscoring its ability to inform our perception of space. Temple's installation casts trompe l'oeil shadows from nonexistent windows across the gallery walls and floor, dramatically affecting our spatial experience. Shotz strings clear beads onto wires to create large, abstract sculptures that hang like drawings in space; light refracted by the beads alters our perception of the object, lending it an ephemeral quality. Kempinas works with videotape, unraveling it from the cassette and reassembling it in sculptural form, the tape reflecting light and casting shadows in the space around it.
