It's that times of year, and we love now that The Armory Show ushers in the new season of art shows in NYC and around the world. Our inbox is crazy full of previews, and we wanted to share with Emily Coan has going on with DIMIN for this year's Armory.
Rising marks the completion Emily Coan’s ongoing Spider Silk series with a continued narrative of the womens’ quest through this perilous realm. What was golden and earthy – an experience of conscious participation with community, nature, and creation by the light of the sun will fade into night. An exploration of color, the paintings are jewel toned – phthalos, viridan, and turquoise. Through these twilight scenes, the sisters move into the night adorned in the shrouds woven with love and protection during the bright sunlight. As Coan describes: “The work is over. After toiling by day to weave garments made of spider silk, the sisters wait in anticipation of their somnambulate journey."
