Corrosive environments as fertile ground
by Joe Chesla
Exhibition Dates: Through September 2023
Location: Pre-Security, Terminal 1, Baggage Claim level
Corrosive enviroments as fertile ground consists of 6 images in the airport lightboxes in Terminal 1. The images are a series of detail shots from Chesla’s large-scale mixed media drawings. The images examine the micro compositional elements created within the context of the larger art object, offering a window into the physicality, materiality, and complexity built within the smallest areas of my drawings.
