Valerie Wilcox’s latest body of work, “Marks in Motion” blurs the line between drawing and sculpture and takes you on a spontaneous journey through line, light and space. In the installation, each individual “mark” (or piece) communicates its distinctive gestural energy which gives it a unique life of its own. These marks play inventively with their own shadows which, when cast upon the wall, become two-dimensional representations of the original drawings. Together, all these elements become a collective force, suggesting a kind of group migration that twists, turns, curls and bends in and around the space, engaging you in a whimsical, yet refined excursion to an unknown destination.
