Horror is the allure and frisson of the forbidden, and what is more forbidden than a body? The Showings is a sculptural procession of works of amalgamated ceramic, steel, copper, and resin that compound to generate a cultural body in various stages of protection and metamorphosis. Within this material drama, monstrosity and corporeal dread are effects, residue, aftermath. 

Liz Stringer uses meditative drawing to navigate private and egotistical moments of self, looping into an existential narrative of horror. Repetitive and residual layers of meaning compound to articulate bodies in stages of failure. The works highlight a variety of physical properties using aggregate actions to enact these moments of

the poetic.

Expanded Ecologies is the third event in a sequence of programming experiments that began with our Winter/Spring 2022 speaker series and continued with sponsorship with the graduate seminar Arts at Burns Piñon.
