Blah Blah Gallery: Carrie R and Madeline Brice
Rooted in line, Carrie R’s work emphasizes the gesture of crawling, sprawling, and perching, each imbued with a subtle menace. Less about anatomy and slipping into expression, her works tackle suspension mid-movement. Her forms arch upwards on elongated “legs” tapering into pointed digits. Their matte, rough surface heightens an insectoid presence, inviting the viewer to imagine their monstrous or animalistic roots. Vibrant colors ground her sculptures in a contemporary register, while their forms draw from a lineage of posthumanist practices that embrace the abject and recast the body as hybrid and unstable.
