SPAC Gallery is pleased to present Emplacement, an exhibition by guest artist Maria Fee combining nested, painted paper objects and multi-paneled cut canvases to present an immersive hybridization of painting, drawing and sculpture.

In her statement about the installation Fee shares “Contours of nature galvanize the construction of a whimsical world. Hanging nests, draped forests, dappled pavilions are reactions to modes of alienation arising from modernity’s migrations, homogenizations, mechanizations, and relinquishing obligations to God, kin, and neighbor. If place is the ground for all social interactions, Emplacement reformulates indeterminate white walls to reimagine and propose sacred sanctuaries, playful and alluring dwelling places that enable transcendence of self/selves to receive the world simultaneously as more and as is.”
