Alice Shaw, Cloned

Apr 6 — May 25, 2018

Cloned is San Francisco-based artist Alice Shaw’s sixth solo exhibition with Gallery 16! Using images of a single sheep, Shaw continues her exploration of dichotomy and duplication. Not only the quintessential symbol of cloning, the sheep also serves as a basis for discussing the photograph’s near limitless ability to reproduce multiples from a single original. While Cloned takes on a vintage quality, the artist presents her subject in newer constructions including structured dimensional pieces, a repetition of form via stereo camera, and side-by-side positive and negative prints.
