Artist Lecture and Opening Reception: Wen Liu: Molting / Mending

Join us for the artist lecture and opening reception for Roswell artist-in-residence Wen Lui. The Talk begins at 5:30 followed by an opening reception for her exhibition “Molting/Mending”

Wen Liu’s sculptures address loss and abandonment through the modification and assembly of found materials. She started collecting reclaimed furniture and domestic objects to build her sense of belonging and security when she immigrated to the US. The sculptural reinvestment of found objects and the temporal shift of traces from past to present are some of the qualities highlighted in her works. These displacements imply narratives of absence and presence as well as alienation and comfort.
