Ginger Q: AS W/IN SO W/O

About

AS W/IN SO W/OUT is an exploration of tension. This exhibition will challenge viewers to examine the push and pull created from delicate and durable materiality.

At the core of the collection is the theme of strain and equilibrium between the exterior and the interior, between distance and intimacy.

Through her sculptural interpretations, Ginger Q’s exhibition displays the suspension between differing forces and the intrinsic balance among them.

--------------------

The status quo bends to make way for new dimensions in the practice of Latinx artist Ginger Q, born in Guadalajara and raised in Los Angeles. Having trained in the workshops of her neon mentors while obtaining a BFA at CalArts, she unites technical craft with a conceptual approach across an inventory of mediums.

Manifesting through sculpture, large-scale installation, & digital mediums, Ginger Q’s immersive work lures the viewer in with their charged interplay of light, color, and form. Disentangled from their industrial origins, heavy-duty materials – acrylic, metal, neon – chart different courses, carrying an energy that veers between fragility and danger. Elements that at first appear resolute bend, melt and morph once subjected to heat, revealing their pliability.
