A Frayed Knot
by Douglas Dale
Exhibition Dates: through April 2024
Location: Terminal 1,Windows
Dale draws inspiration from spaces where reality is the product of illusion: camp, drag, theater, and the club scene. They reside in subcultures prioritizing materiality, accruing value through attention and labor instead of inherent medium worth. Proudly trans nonbinary, Dale extends their own queer identity into inanimate objects. Dale defines queerness as not only an identity, but also as a declaration of systematic failure. In A Frayed Knot, Dale constructs work to break presumed polarities and construct new entities encapsulating the full spectrum of hard and soft, wood and fiber, masculine and feminine.
