15BYTES "Doomscrolling, Dreaming and Digital Decay" by Geoff Wichert

To be sure, there’s superb work present here: for instance, “Searching for Stardust,” comprising nearly a hundred glazed ceramic fragments individually placed on the wall like a celestial explosion frozen in time or the visible convolutions of a coral disappearing into an opaque, rising sea. From the largest to the smallest part, each individual shape relates to those around it.

The artists in the exhibition express these feelings in uncanny and playful ways, re-examining how to embody critical experiences or navigate through day-to-day routines.

PRESS RELEASE "Persistence of Future Memories" at Elijah Wheat Showroom

Just as an ‘emotional hangover’ may influence any retained memories in one’s consciousness, so do the shadowy and sprawling works in “Persistence of Future Memories.” Odum’s ceramics mold to a site unseen, giving to a passage that must grow and adapt to its new surroundings. The healthy formation of minds-eye remembrances steer the future, “Persistence of Future Memories” allows hope to bring us to an alternative reality, joyfully allowing our own recollections to connect, adapt and befitted as bold memoirs.

BOSTON GLOBE “Virtual and Real meet in Providence”

What if Thoreau had had an iPhone? He’d be posting pictures of his shack at Walden on Instagram. Imagine his selfies. Today, technology makes visions of nature available at a keystroke. In “Nearly Not There,” at GRIN, two artists tackle how personal devices frame the wild for us by pairing screens with sculpture, a tension that’s purposefully hard to resolve. Sculptures confront us in our own space; screens beckon us into imaginative ones.

PRESS RELEASE "Nearly Note There" at GRIN

Nearly Not There, a collaborative exhibition by Hannah Newman and Aimee Odum, presents a series of tangible manifestations of such wanderlust-fueled languishing, but also offers an extension of that ever-present itch; the added burden of managing digital and technological could-bes; the constant and expanding familiar unknowns that are a veritable Shrodinger’s cat of real-life experience.
