SUMMARY:Natalie Gerber: load
DESCRIPTION:As an artist and a maker\, Natalie Gerber is interested in meta
 morphosis\, flux\, and endless cycles of becoming\, learning\, and unlearni
 ng. In this new\, site-specific installation\, Gerber brings together ceram
 ic and textile to consider the transformative potential of weight\, gravity
 \, and duration. \n\nload begins with a constellation of ceramic forms that
  alternately evoke rocks\, eggs\, or celestial bodies. The forms are slip-c
 ast\, a process wherein liquid clay is poured into a mold\, forming a skin-
 like surface which is revealed when the mold is released. Close inspection 
 of the ceramics reveal the gradations within Gerber’s process\, particula
 rly the slow deterioration of the slip-cast molds. \n\nSuspended above the 
 ceramic forms is a sculptural silk lattice that cascades down the space aki
 n to a net\, veil\, or shroud. \n\nTo create the lattice\, Gerber laser-cut
 s individual modules of fused silk with a pattern that allows the two-dimen
 sional fabric to expand into three-dimensions when pinned together and drap
 ed. In turn\, the silk lattice will evolve slowly across the duration of th
 e installation\, gradually expanding like a lung or a ribcage. While the bo
 dy is not represented directly\, it imbues Gerber’s work\, appearing in t
 he dimpled flesh of the ceramics\, and the corporeal drape and fascia-like 
 web of the silk lattice. Like the fallible\, malleable human body\, her wor
 k is never fixed or static either. Rather\, it is continuously shaped and r
 e-shaped by the unrelenting forces of gravity and time.\n\nhttps://www.visi
