Jim Hodges creates ephemeral installations with a variety of textiles. Materials
include slender silver chains with which the artist makes webs, or delicate
paper napkins upon which he has completed small drawings of flowers and
other doodles. Using these nostalgic and tender materials, Hodges's curtains
of silk flowers and other works seem to create sites of delicate permanence
in the face of a shifting and sometimes dangerous world. As an artist in
residence, Hodges worked with schoolchildren to create a work of art in
his own gallery exhibition by marking children's height on a wall in colored
pencil, ultimately creating an intricate design of heights and markings. |
