Maris Van Vlack | Time Warp

Time Warp is the first solo show in New York City by Massachusetts-based fiber artist Maris Van Vlack.

The exhibition runs from September 6 to October 19, 2024, at 120 Walker Street, 6R, New York, NY.

For Van Vlack, the built environment and the effects of time on it hold a rich source of inspiration for exploring personal and collective experiences. The artist's hand-woven representations of deteriorating architectural forms are not just a visual exploration, but a deep dive into the emotional resonance of these structures. She investigates a building's ability to reflect a narrative of events and the history of the people who lived or worked in it over time. In Time Warp, Van Vlack draws from family history, found photographs, and New England vernacular architecture to inform her abstract and sometimes representational landscapes, which express liminality, memory, and emotion.
