Vanessa Donoso Lopéz (image above) is currently showing at the Stone Gallery. It's a show worth seeing although seriously tight for space. The work feels spontaneously fresh. Each piece displays diverse methods and actions of making. A winsome and playful paper installation is contrasted by the loaded printed textile shrine-like piece installed in a regrettably tight hall space downstairs. I have to say the contrast in this sort of in-between space for me was slightly confusing. Although I do commend the individual works highly, I don't know if everything should be included in the show.
I particularly liked Lopezs' collection of little two headed specimens which speak to me of a fantastical land of the imagination while simultaneously bringing to mind dark notions of experimental scientific research.
Lopezs' paper pieces reminded me of Hans Christian Andersons' admirable intricate paper works (below).
