Molly Torgeson's Suspended
At Atelier Z Gallery, Molly Torgeson's sculptures look like
various methods of footbinding, hanging from above, but the effect is
more like timebinding--like she's trying to imprison this one moment in
space through industrial-waste bandages. Torgeson defines the term
"suspended": "to keep waiting in suspense or indecision,
to keep fixed, to cease temporarily from operation." Because her
suspensions are wrapped up with metal and nails and other rusty things
that bare like teeth, the bound effect (and the potentiality for
contracting lockjaw) puts danger in the sculptures. At the same time,
they're silent and very graceful--twisted, industrial stalactites.
