Dark Romantic
a sequence of new works by LoBot's September Artist-in-Residence Erika Pahk Fusing principles of art jewelry and upcycling, Erika culls ready-made materials such as plastic zip ties and reclaimed utilitarian articles to meticulously craft desirable, wearable adornment. At the same time, these sculptural works offer symbolic, often humorous narratives about shame and longing in the vein of the Dark Romantics of literature. Worn on the body or hung from a cross-beam, an ominous visual weight tethers these fabulous, feather-like objects.
