VENUE

DATE
January 12 – February 11,
2023
“Between the Lines” at GearBox Gallery is a two-person show featuring work by Kathleen King and Rachel Major.
For this show, King focuses on her painted wood sculpture and assemblage. These works, comprised of reductive, legible form and color, explore the properties and intensities of their materials. Hand-built using supple segmentation and an investigative geometry, the work reveals the techniques of its construction. The sculpture “Red Horse,” with its armature exposed and radically vulnerable, stretches vertically, teetering on precarious legs. Like a young animal or a revolutionary impulse, its potential to rise and become is always present.
