PLUS/MINUS ARTISTS' STATEMENT

"Artmaking is a call and response informed by its context. Recent experiences have been largely defined by separation and restriction and we have limited our lives in search of safety. The artists presented here share distinct and diverse bodies of work that reference their process through these constraints. Their physical acts of artmaking have been largely solitary practices within changeable circumstances, through arrivals and departures, moving between here or there, having more or less. Plus/Minus is therefore about what’s been lost and found, what’s been added and subtracted during this time. This complexity of perspectives sheds light on our individual experiences, communicating a sense of ebb and flow which defines the contemporary moment."
