Description:
Gerri Sayler: Ad Infinitum
June 14 – October 2008
Idaho artist Gerri Sayler presents her first solo museum exhibition in conjunction with the Jurors Prize award in the 2007 Idaho Triennial
exhibition at the Boise Art Museum. Her site-specific installation,
will consist of over 900 glistening strands of sculpted hot glue
resembling drizzled icicles or frozen ripples of water, cascading 20
feet from the ceiling enveloping the viewer in a web-like room. Ad infinitum
is a Latin phrase meaning "to infinity” and can be used to describe a
set of instructions to be repeated "forever." Her repetitious creating
of the fibrous glue strands is connected to craft traditions
historically associated with women, who have used their hands to spin
and weave the fibers of their lives into the tapestry we know as
culture. Sayler’s filigree strands also call to mind the human body,
referencing muscle, nerves, veins, and the threads of our hearts,
intertwined with the patterns and rhythms nature’s cycles of birth,
growth, death and decay.
