Adaptations: Dharma Strasser MacColl
Traywick Contemporary is pleased to announce Adaptations, an exhibition of new works on paper by Bay Area artist Dharma Strasser MacColl. This will be the artist's third solo show with Traywick Contemporary. MacColl explores dichotomies in her work: the sculptural and the two dimensional, negative and positive space, the constructed and the organic, and macro and micro perspectives. The artist plays with imagery based in the natural world by gathering and twisting forms together: strands are intertwined and emanating from the center of the page, floral and abstract elements spin in to one another, rings and lines collect and dissipate. Her labor-intensive practices transform thoughtful materials, including hand formed and fired ceramics, lace-like paper cutouts, dyed leathers and felts, and handmade Nepalese papers. Dharma Strasser MacColl has exhibited her work extensively throughout the Bay Area and across the country since receiving her MFA degree from Cranbrook Academy in 1997. Her work is in noted private and public collections including the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco as well as Fidelity Investments and Chevron Corporation.
