EXHEXHIBIT - Matrix 228: Deborah Grant: Bacon, Egg, Toast in Lard
July 1-31, 2009
Deborah Grant's paintings are dense, quite literally loaded with obsessive code-like mark-making, collaged and drawn symbolic representations, and flat silhouettes, and with myriad personal, cultural, and art-historical references. Her work is a kind of hallucinatory exercise, sampling across time and genre to connect ideas based in history and personal experience with political and social issues of the present. Grant's distinctive and highly graphic visual style marries aspects of abstraction and illustration in a restrained palette of black, white, and red.

Bobbin lace, seeming inherent in the nature of man, has remained vital for over 500 years. The technique permeating virtually every culture and becoming synonymous with the term 'lace making' itself. The manipulation of unlimited threads, evos logic and translating into their own vision has given bobbin lace today a most extraordinary place in the world of textile expression. The two simple motions, generally noted as twist and cross, is the soul of all bobbin lace, transcending time, culture and materials with its execution extending into every stage of live. Free admission.
