New Balance at the University of Waterloo Art Gallery on view from November 7 to December 21, 2019:

New Balance is a series of painted plywood tetrahedron sculptures that twist and turn and loop through space. These objects invite viewers to interact, to walk around and through compositions where negative space is as vital as the positive material form. While they reference utopian architecture, public shelters, and colour swatches appropriated from Pantone’s ‘Fall 2019 Colour Forecast’, they also operate as architectural models; speculative plans and imaginative prompts that invite us to consider the potential of interacting—with each other and each form—on macro and miniature scales.
