Give Your Weight to the Ground at Green Art Gallery
An exhibition titled 'Give Your Weight to the Ground' is presented at Green Art Gallery, featuring works by an artist who explores grounding through materiality, the body, labor, time, inherited ideologies, and inhabited spaces. The show includes paintings, sculptures, and a sound piece that envelops viewers, prompting reflection on the constructed environment. The artist's practice involves a ritual of burying fallen hair in houseplant soil, a gesture inherited from their mother, symbolizing the body's return to nurture the earth. Sculptures vary in scale relative to human proportion, some at eye level, others towering. The sound piece anchors viewers to the present, encouraging awareness of tonal resonance, rhythm, noise, and silence. The exhibition invites slowing down and immersion amid everyday overstimulation.
