Gradient
Solo exhibition at Blank Space Gallery in the Anacostia Arts Center, Washington, DC. On view August 15 - September 5, 2017.
Exhibition Statement:
Gradient features DC-based artist Olivia Tripp Morrow's newest works, which utilize bras, underwear, and pantyhose donated from women as materials that are imbued with untold personal histories. Constructed in gradients across a range of skin-like hues, these works maintain the original intent of form-fitting undergarments (to stretch, to conform, to contain) and allude to the beauty, strength, and multiplicity of women's bodies and experiences.
