Melinda Rosenberg: Two-Fold
October 14 – February 20, 2022
@ BMoCA

Melinda Rosenberg paints, cuts, and “folds” found wood to create abstract wall installations that intersect painting and sculpture. The artist’s process begins with collecting scraps of wood found in old barns and lumber yards throughout rural Ohio. Collectively, Rosenberg’s formal geometries explore concepts of nature, architecture, and color. Her works brought into focus how the wood grain holds memory of time and evidence of growth and decay. She reimagined the found raw material by incorporating subtle optical illusions that challenges the viewer’s sense of perception, creating pause and the space to witness what is really there.
