About the Exhibition
In Unraveling and Other Arrangements, Dorothy Remington presents a meditative body of work that bridges the gap between traditional ink drawing and three-dimensional sculpture. What began as a simple exploration of line and pochoir evolved into a profound reflection on the passage of time—a "portrait of the artist at eighty."
The exhibition centers on the concept of the "cumulative line." As Remington’s ink drawings grew in complexity, they began to resemble intricate weavings that appear to be simultaneously coming together and coming apart. Moving beyond the constraints of the traditional frame, Remington has developed modular display methods that allow her drawings to take on a sculptural quality. These pieces invite a "harmony of edges," where works can be rearranged, hung, or stood independently, suggesting that despite the appearance of unraveling, every element fundamentally belongs together.
