Myrrha: An exhibition of collaborative works with Forrest Hudes
On view April 1 - May 6, 2023 at I.M.Weiss Gallery in Detroit, MI
Born from an intense, almost year-long collaboration between Shulman and Hudes, Myrrha brings together two distinct materials to create a shared language.
Through the literal intertwining of wood and fiber, the formal/visual language of each object creates an immersive world conveying the physical reality of its materials and their nuanced relationship, which ultimately become a metaphor for the human body.
Engaging their respective materials in this way, Shulman and Hudes challenge our perception of the often opposed disciplines of fiber art and woodworking. Using their visceral, direct visual language, Shulman and Hudes create objects that challenge false perceptions of the physical realities of the human body.
