Soft Shoulder at Cambridge Art Association

Organic, unstructured, and non-conforming, Soft Shoulder presents a flexible address of surface and structure. Engaged in informal and off-kilter strategies, the non-representational works are relational and familiar. Ambiguous and consciously awkward, the work derails notions of finished, fixed or known, on purpose — always a little off-road, yet en route. Like the unpaved patch of dirt alongside the highway where macadam meets gravel loose and soft and the traveler slows to a stop, Soft Shoulder posits the state of in-between, at the interchange of “becoming” and “spent” with an emphasis on sensate materiality.
