Grid Memories

Heron Arts is pleased to announce Grid Memories, a group exhibition featuring Alexis Arnold, Gina Borg, Katherine Duclos, and Kim Bennett. Each artist featured in Grid Memories employs the process of repetition and the utilization of structured foundations, transforming their creative practice into a shared fabric of memory. They use their unique perspective to unravel and reweave color relationships, spatial awareness, the passage of time, and shifting art history to uplift the underappreciated aesthetic of textile work. Together, the works trace how grids and bricks — often symbols of order and stability — can also be porous, playful, and generative. By reworking the meaning of these forms to carry memory forward, Grid Memories highlights the creation of new visual languages out of familiar structures. The manipulation of materials, e.g. pulp and pigment, Lego bricks, thread, and paint, can transform not only the surfaces we see but also the ways we remember, imagine, and engage with space and each other.
