Crystal Morey: Delicate Dependencies
Opening Reception: Friday October 14, 2016, 6 pm–9 pm
Exhibition Dates: October 14–29, 2016
Modern Eden Gallery is pleased to present “Delicate Dependencies”, the Modern Eden solo debut of Bay Area sculptress, Crystal Morey.
Statement from the Artist:
Humankind has become the driving influence and force behind natural evolution, with the ability to alter life from a single cell all the way up to entire ecosystems. Through these actions we are leaving vulnerable species and habitats frantic, facing disruptions and uncertain outcomes. In my work I explore these actions while also creating an evocative and mysterious narrative that shows our interdependence with the land and animals around us.
“Delicate Dependencies” is an exploration of these ideas shown through plants and animals native to the western United States. These creatures exist in habitats stressed or impacted by human activity, leading them to an unclear future. They inhabit a space where the relationship between humans, and the plants and animals around them, are intricately and physically bound together, dependent on each other for their long-term viability. Sculpted from the silken white earth of porcelain, I see these delicate figures as containing power, as modern talismans and precious telling objects. They see a heightened vision of human influence in the natural world and are here to remind us of our current trajectory and the delicate dependencies we all share.
The opening reception for ‘Delicate Dependencies’ will be held at Modern Eden Gallery on Friday, October 14, 2016 from 6 pm–9 pm. Crystal Morey will be in attendance at the reception. The exhibition will be on display through October 29, 2016 and is free and open to the public.
