MAREN HASSINGER

In contrast to the physical heft and treachery of the metal vessels, lighter variations on the theme hover ethereally overhead. Here, Hassinger wraps the steel armatures in a skin of sheer fabric dyed in a natural palette of brown, tan, and terracotta red. Their otherworldly presence is underscored by the gentle sway set in motion with each passing breeze. With a nod to Hassinger’s career in dance and performance, the fabric vessels’ graceful rotations make us conscious of our collective experience as we move through space, navigating between the fragile and ethereal and the prickly and earthbound.
