Procedures to Ease the Fall is an exhibition that brings together woodblock carvings, sculptural ceramics, and video installation as an exploration of the forces that shape cosmogony. Synthesizing seemingly contradictory past and present codes of visual representation such as baroque painting, Mesoamerican material culture, and telescope imagery, the work evokes a metaphysical gathering site.
Oscillating between empirical observation, material experimentation, poetic and esoteric approaches of making, the exhibition poses questions such as: how is matter altered or transmuted? How can we
create vessels that preserve a fragment of time? Why do we have the notion that time erodes, when it simultaneously turns dust into stone?
