Additional Information
Other associated events: Reception and artist talk Thursday, July 30 at 7 pm.
Darci Mallon's drawings of hands are built by an accumulation of dots from dipping her fingers into ink and pressing them onto the mylar support. The tiny, singular fingerprints, which signify human identity on a basic level, are contrasted with the huge size of the finished works that make up the drawings. The image in Dementia is of large hands signing in American Sign Language. It is uniquely lit from behind. The ASL gestures, and their delineation, evoke the body's multiple ways of communicating, speaking of the concepts of visual memory, memorizing and forgetting.
