Loose Ends
Colorspace Arts is proud to host "Loose Ends", a show featuring recent works from 12 emerging Bay Area artists, centered on the idea of finding resolutions in the unfinished, forgotten, or left behind.
Reflecting personal histories and unique creative processes, the show has a quiet force: each piece a distillation of a contemplative process, arising out of struggle, hope, curiosity, autonomy and agency. While each work is uniquely singular, some common thematic threads can be found — from physical manifestations of memory, to explorations of familial histories, to exploration of loss and preservation through material based processes.
