September 10 - October 16, 2010
Opening Reception: Friday, September 10, 7-9pm
Exhibiting for the first time with Civilian, Brooklyn-based Trish Tillman will install site-specific sculpture and new cutpaper
works, including architectural elements that both threaten and welcome guests. According to the artist, "when a boat is in irons it is
pointing directly into the wind, or is too close to the wind to
make headway. Therefore, it struggles or is completely
stopped dead in the water. Elements of my work possess
this ambition of wanting to move forward but with constant
barriers or reminders of loss."
