“Ephemera” deals with both the idea of impermanence and the literal meaning of ephemera, which is the accumulation of inconsequential stuff. The COVID epidemic sent Cross inward in many ways, including excavating bits and scraps of old work to refashion into something new: enacting a kind of reflective, vaguely anti-consumption, art practice, while making new work about impermanence. This work will include on-site installation designed specifically for the Sullivan Family Gallery.
Rebecca Cross exhibits her work nationally and internationally, including in NYC, Sweden, Paris, Budapest, and Nagoya, Japan. Memory is a central concern in Cross’s work, which is made primarily in silk and paper. She is fascinated by mining the ephemeral potential of transformed materials, where line is made by shadows and delicate forms hold the memory of solid objects. Her research includes a deep engagement with the arts of all forms, reading literature, writing poetry, listening to music, deepening her understanding of the capacities of fibers and dye, being outdoors in every season, and apprehending large bodies of water. She recently appeared in Intrinsic Momentum with Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson and Isabel Farnsworth at the American Greetings Corporation W Gallery (Cleveland) in January 2019.
