Von Bonin's textile characters included in the exhibition present a mass of contradictions—approachable creatures that aren’t quite what they seem or don’t behave as we might expect. Weaving together humor with melancholy, softness with hardness, as well as access and exclusion.
These sculptures mix art history, popular culture, music, and craft, while engaging in feminist destabilizations. Appropriately, the deep sea is its own world, little known and remote for us.
