Brenda Mallory’s “Of Seasons and Cycles” includes works from her ongoing Reformed Packings series, made from reclaimed honeycomb packing material collected during her residency at Portland’s Waste Transfer Station through the Glean Residency.
Inspired by weaving traditions, the intersecting grids of these reliefs appear simultaneously ordered and unraveling, their geometric structures echoing both natural systems and handmade textiles. By repurposing materials discarded by contemporary systems of consumption, Mallory demonstrates how waste can become a site of renewal and beauty.
Brenda Mallory “Of Seasons and Cycles” on view through October 24th.
