Hannah Carroll Harris and Lauren Carroll Harris: Into Thin Air

Overview

Hannah Carroll Harris and Lauren Carroll Harris's exhibition Into Thin Air looks at all things dystopian, artworks that are alive (but not in a freaky mad scientist kind of way) and landscapes that grow (a little different from a terrarium). And yes, some of the works do indeed look like things that have just up and vanished into thin air.

Of the duo, Hannah looks at making artworks that grow and evolve as the exhibition progresses. Woven algae on looms, crystals that transform, and other bits and pieces. Lauren, on the other hand, looks at three-dimensional landscapes made from non-natural materials that have a dystopian feel. Her work Glaciers/Ghosts -Into Thin Air #1 is an eerie piece that reflects on how humans have impacted the environment around them. The show presents a vision of nature in decline.

These sculptures and installations will be showing at the duo's own publishing and gallery space, an ARI aptly named called Archive Space. So, naturally, there's a little publication to go with the exhibit.
