Gretchen Marie Schaefer: Folding and Thrusting
October 3 – January 19, 2020
@ BMoCA

Folding and Thrusting was a solo exhibition of new work by Denver-based artist Gretchen Marie Schaefer. Rooted in geology, the exhibition featured a large-scale dimensional painting and photographic works that combined geologic abstraction with notions of perception. This exhibition expanded on her most recent body of work that, through challenging our relationship with the earth, delved into the implicit power dynamics embedded in common ways of seeing the world. By challenging these common assumptions, these sculptural paintings and photographs explored the nature of vision and the cultural frameworks that bolster world-views. Guest curated by Cortney Lane Stell.
