SUN, NOVEMBER 11 MEET THE ARTIST: GAIL BIEDERMAN
Gail
Biederman is interested in mapping, topography and patterns of growth,
whether natural or artificial. For her Sunroom Project, Biederman
creates a net-like map made of commercial and handmade felt that
reflects the topography of the Bronx and is suspended from the ceiling.
Referencing the local environment, the handmade felt incorporates
natural elements, such as leaves, vines and sticks from Wave Hill’s
gardens. The piece transforms the typical flatness of maps, altering the
urban streets of the Bronx into a vibrant and evocative form. Free with
admission to the grounds.
