Excited to announce the opening of “Flagging and Foraging”, a solo exhibition by Izzy Davis.

Opening reception April 22nd (Earth Day) from 4pm-6pm.

Do clearcutters dream of the sounds trees make as they are sawed down in forests, the same way I dream about the sound a tree might make in a forest I’m not at all in?

Flagging and Foraging explores material ancestry and synthesis. All material comes from somewhere… like old-growth trees, felled to be manufactured and marketed in commercial logging. Or alternatively, with the abscission of a ripened hull, respectfully collected from the earthen floor, to be boiled into something new. Izzy Davis implores viewers to read material with extra attention, and raise questions about intention, process, and choice.
The grounds of Davis’s work are the peculiar sites of human interventions into otherwise untamed forest: clearcut fields where old-growth forests once stood, reliefs made by pine beetles boring into soft phloem beneath bark. Alongside the natural world, purpose is derived equally from construction and appearance. An image imposed onto a surface is not limited to an obedient plane. Marks are informed by the grain and texture of a surface. Layers of medium build up, pigments derived from foraged tree-materials are mulled into paint, boiled into ink, or fired into charcoal. Gathered synthetic ribbon, plastics, and paints are used in tandem with vegetation. Imagery is drawn from the natural order of the world around; its forestscapes, fields, trails, and trees, and how human hands tie synthetic materials into land.
