Intimacies at MAPSpace

Enclosure alludes to domestic intimacies and physical confinement. Made of repurposed textiles, x-ray film, plastic sheeting, twine and acrylic paint on wood, this reversable sculpture presents two sides: folded bed clothes beneath a translucent cover, and on the reverse, ragged edges unlaced to reveal a glimpse of woven fabric. The title also refers to the practice of monastic enclosure and the brown, black and white robes worn by cloistered religious communities. Simultaneously hiding and revealing restraint, touch, and transparency, viewers are encouraged to take the piece off the wall and see both sides. 10 x 8 x 1”
