> DESCRIPTION

Connie Zehr has been making large temporary floor installations using sand with other materials and sculpted objects since the late 1960s.  The installations are created directly on the floor of the gallery, and remain in place for the duration of the exhibition, and are then later swept away. The scale and formality of the installations paradoxically reveal intimacy and vulnerability when you are in their presence.

Her current exhibition, Angles of Repose, consists of both sand installation and large inkjet prints. Zehr has been creating two-dimensional images that fuse the temporary arrangement of particles with pixels since 1997. Her prints show movement in space by capturing ambiguous "events" that hover between abstraction and representation. They are a continuation of her fascination with disruption and repose, matter as fact and as metaphor.
