by Sukanya Mani
Exhibition Dates: February through August 2022
Location: Post-Security, near gates E34 and 36
An exhibition of papercut Tyvek works assembled as a site-specific installation by St. Louis Artist Sukanya Mani. The works explore themes of the relationship between space, light, gravity, and time through intricately cut, arranged, and layered works. Many of the works in TRY TO GET CLOSER are inspired by scientific understanding and human connection to space and the remaining mysteries of the universe. Visitors to the exhibition will see works with a variety of depth, shadows, and movement, which interact with one another and the perspectives of visitors on the moving walkway.
