Bananas brings together the work of Tanya Aguiniga, Fay Ray, Chloe Seibert, Emmett Moore and George Woodman. These distinctly different practices each with their own intentionality come together to delight in a perverse tropical utopia. The works in the show speak a language particular to the heat of the mid-summer months. For decades, George Woodman has been exploring dimensionality, color and negative space via photography and painting. His works, though photographic, are unique, each a silver gelatin print that has been painted on. Figures appear and recede into space and abstraction, landscapes become interiors, interiors become objects and bodies become line. Based in Los Angeles, Fay Ray incorporates palm fronds, the body, photography and sculpture to explore ritual, fetish and femininity. Her wide ranging practice explores the jagged line between strength and sensuality, how objects and language shift that line and where all of these things intersect inside an object. Chloe Seibert’s work focuses on psychological impulses and responses to architectural, physical and social structures. She will be showing a new large black wall sculpture. Emmett Moore explores space and functionality through design. Tanya Aguiñiga is a native of two cities, both Tijuana and Los Angeles, in her practice that straddles the worlds of art and design, she uses traditional and ancient crafts and materials such as terracotta and gold leaf to explore how our bodies engage with scale, history and the politics of function.
