About the exhibition
The mixed-media artworks by Beth Caspar and Liliana Zavaleta presented in ReUse / ReShape evidence a broad range of readily discernible formal, material, spatial, and process-related commonalities. Their shared aesthetic environment is one of kindred colors, shapes, treatments, linearities, angularities, and repurposed implements – and of non-objective manners of abstraction that are nonetheless generative of unmistakable objectness. Beneath all of these sources of common ground, however, is an essential substrate of layered thematic distinctions.
