When Spiders Spin Dusk—Carnival of Shipwreck

Curatorial statement and exhibition provocation for When Spiders Spin Dusk at Carnival of Shipwreck, Toronto, Canada.

We urgently need to reimagine our relationships with the world around us and with each other. We have inherited a culture that relies increasingly on abstractions that urge us to categorize, measure, and optimize for our own needs. We cling to broken promises of modernity, to linear narratives of past, present, and future that offer some sense of rescue and faith that tomorrow will somehow be better than today. Our pursuit of efficiency no longer seems to be yielding a better life. Moving forward no longer makes sense. We are left wondering what we might do next.
