From/To

June 10 – July 22, 2021

Week three: Kate Shepherd

Kate Shepherd’s large scale “Falling Cards” from 2005 is an example of the artist’s long term commitment to the exploration of the interaction of line and plane.  For this work, the red-hued background is divided up into multiple sections, each of a different tint. The “falling cards” were created by photographically documenting arrangements of string. In other words, the representation of two-dimensional planar cards was created by making photographs of three-dimensional (yet mostly linear) string.  The lines and planes of the “cards” are continually interrupted by the different blocks of color, forever frustrating any sense of actual three dimensional space. Shepherd’s work is full of visual and process-based riddles, yet they are all in service of creating a dynamic visual experience that is both powerful and quiet.
