Infinite and Transient—
Dimensions Variable (DV) presents a solo project titled Infinite and Transient by Jennifer Printz. The exhibition opens on August 24 and runs through October 2024 in the Corridor Gallery.
In Infinite and Transient, Jennifer Printz uses textiles to reflect on the invisible architecture of life and the ever-changing universe. This series materializes air, expanding and contracting it in space, defying gravity. Photographs were printed on cotton and silk and manipulated into three-dimensional forms. The many threads woven together to create fabric represent the connections around us, our relationship with the planet, and the impact of time and space on everyone. Printz leverages the pliable nature of fabric as a metaphor for the fluid tendencies of reality. The sky folds and twists as it is loosely stitched together into a tenuous shape that may unravel before our eyes, mirroring the ebb and flow of life.
