This collaboration between Michelle Yi Martin and Johanna St. Clair invites viewers to explore the fascinating tension between fragmentation and unity in both weaving and painting. In the spaces between threads, marks, and gestures, there exists a universal language, a visual dialogue that transcends the need for words, inviting the viewer to find possibility in the quiet moments of assembly.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
In a show curated by Louisa Gloger and Noelle Hiam, 20 works by artists Michelle Yi Martin and Johanna St. Clair are presented in the Main Gallery. The collaboration prompts examination of the tension between fragmentation and unity across two mediums: Yi Martin’s weavings and St. Clair’s paintings. In the case of the former, individual threads come together in textiles, while the latter comprises brushstrokes that, viewed holistically, yield a narrative.
