Borrowed Tails

Green star Borrowed Tails

Wed–Sun. Through Jun 13.
654-3100
Heide Hinrichs's new installation Borrowed Tails, "is a collection of drawings and sculptures made from ordinary materials: lined paper, dead soccer and tennis balls, strings, cardboard boxes, a table, and a bicycle tube. Together, the ordinary objects suggest a spare or bare geography of trees, flowers, rocks, and an ocean. From the ordinary objects we get a sense of what the historian Clive Gamble calls 'deep time,' objects that are from a time that's so remote that they have about them an impenetrable and unsettling otherness."
