Mitra Fabian’s work was directed to me given my interest in Tara Donovan – the works in many ways actually cross Tara Donovan’s and Emily Barletta’s to me both in terms of their materials and their representations. Many of the pieces reflect organisms, both benign and malignant, that they may represent. The use of materials including tape, glue, reinforcement stickers and more though sometimes look much like Donovan’s pieces. You be the judge.
Cast glue – Multiplicity.
“Room for Recovery” Installation.
Installation close-up.
Tape. Whoa.
My favorite – used coffee filters and thread from the Surface Treatment show – the piece is aptly titled Strained.
