New York-based artist Heather Rowe employs architectural fragments to create complex abstract compositions that engage the space around them in surprising and often poetic ways. For the IMA's Efroymson Family Entrance Pavilion, Rowe will create a site-specific installation that employs fragments of architectural materials such as wood, sheetrock and metal frames to create a self-supporting structure that appears as a succession of cascading frames, suggesting an unfolding screen. Slices of found interior furnishings, such as chairs, mirror frames, fireplace mantels and wallpaper, will be incorporated into the structure. Planters filled with grasses that echo the plantings visible through the glass windows will anchor the piece and relate it to the exterior. Like Rowe's past work, the installation will provoke viewers to move about and engage in the complex space the sculpture creates.
