Using her art to dig deep into life’s thornier realities, multimedia artist Morgan Fields presents a new installation of sculpture and prints at Petshop, with a First Friday opening on Nov. 4 from 7-10pm and continuing through Dec. 30.
“Barbed Labyrinth” is just that—Fields will create a disorienting, cavelike experience from spires of woven barbed wire and fabric. Evoking the five stages of grief, the labyrinth communicates both suffering and resilience, frequent themes in her work.
The show also includes “Life in Purgatory,” an ongoing series of photopolymer intaglio prints. With their Rorschachian blots of pooled organic material, Fields intends them to create an abstracted space to connect with the void in preparation for glory.
“Morgan Fields: Barbed Labyrinth” will show at the Petshop in Benson from Nov. 4 to Dec. 30, with an opening on First Friday from 7-10pm. The gallery is located at 2725 N. 62nd Street.
