Grinning

NORBERG HALL is excited to welcome the new year with an upcoming two-person exhibition, Grinning, featuring LARISSA TIGGELERS and EMMA WELCH.

The works in Grinning are simultaneously joined and unjoined—through fastener and form—articulated by seams and hinges. Both Larissa Tiggelers (BFA '10, Painting) and Emma Welch have similar preoccupations with repeats, mirroring and multiplicity. In Tiggelers’ corner paintings, each side attempts to mirror the other, hinging and splitting open, anticipating and attempting to match its counterpart. In Welch’s sculptures, fins duplicate, their hand-formed surfaces fanning in radial repetition.
