An industrial nylon strap–a harness of sorts, tethers May Wilson’s grouping of three curved and limb-like forms, allowing each its own hobbled independence while providing the precarious trio the ability to stand as a collective whole. The harness–an instrument of control, subordination and sometimes subtle direction looms large within the boldly ambiguous and abstract-leaning works created by artists Lauren Quin, Rebekah Goldstein and May Wilson. Whether it’s Goldstein’s paintings that continually frame and reframe the canvas, creating and obstructing space and the movement of the viewer through it; Wilson’s animated sculptures that confront the approaching viewer as they flop onto one another and hang from the gallery’s supporting architecture; or Lauren Quin’s densely layered abstractions that suggest figurative forms embroiled in struggles for visibility as they weave back and forth from background to foreground–each artist creates work that confronts and redirects the agency of the viewer, simultaneously exploring the tensions and power dynamics between elements contained within.
