Visually recalling Egyptian and Greco-Roman artifacts, LaKela Brown’s reliefs commemorate the forms of jewelry and African American vestiges that circulated during the apogee of Hip Hop. The works serve as a sartorial archive of the status symbols of her childhood and function as semi-autobiographical abstractions. Venerating emblems of affluence and aspiration, Brown’s sculptures encipher the relics of hip-hop culture as an aesthetic phenomenon. Door knocker earrings, rop...e chains, and Egyptian royal pendants are used as casting tools, serving as motifs of desire and aspiration. The ways in which they are removed from their original reference point of the body abstracts them, alluding to a traceable remnant of history. #LaKelaBrown Composition with round earrings, heart earrings and bamboo earrings, 2020 plaster and acrylic 28.8 x 21.6 x 3 in (73 x 55 x 7.6 cm) On view in #ImperfectClocks, closing tomorrow, February 27

Bri Williams is a sculptor and installation artist whose practice utilizes found object, often embedded with deeply personal associations, to evoke a potent, clairvoyant tone. The artist has been utilizing soap to embed materials that become trapped within the constraints of the form, unable to fully surface. The soap causes these objects to break down and abstract, like the taxidermy sparrow inJezebel(2020), giving way to notions of cleanliness and purification. InPest ...Control(2020), Williams created a drawing on paper with sharpie and poured soap over it. After peeling the paper back, the image is the result of the ink bleeding into the soap, further enforcing the idea of transference and abstraction.

Characterized by serial gestures and suggestive imperfection, Erica Mahinay’s work conveys her interest in time as a construct of our conscious mind, perception as a controlled hallucination, and intimacy as imperative to our collective well-being In this work, Mahinay makes gestural marks on silk with acrylic medium then delicately covers the new surface with gold leaf. This repetitive act connects the body to the passage of time and comments on the temporality of its exist...ence #EricaMahinay Gilded (Dividing Time), 2019 acrylic and gold leaf on fabric, poplar 60 x 40 inches (152.4 x 101.6 cm) on view in #ImperfectClocks

With light and color as his subject matter, Brooklyn-based artist Spencer Finch creates ethereal, poetic work that recreate his journey and experiences with the natural world. This work catalogs the dates on which flowers bloomed in Finch’s garden throughout 2020. In this abstracted visual archive, each color corresponds with an accurate watercolor study of those blooming flowers. #SpencerFinch Blooming Calendar (my garden), 2020 watercolor and pencil on paper... 32 1/2 x 44 1/3 inches (82.5 x 113 cm) on view in #ImperfectClocks
