Woulden, New Work By Paul Donald.
Paul Donald’s work carries references both to the body and to actual marks, bodily made. That sense of a body-as-being and body-as-making and body-in-mind is applicable to whatever “body” is willing to accommodate self-reflection: we all carry the weight of our own history, our own self- beliefs, our own self-demands, and must come to terms with a “world” where certainty is merely a layover.
Woulden, Paul Donald’s first Los Angeles exhibition opens on Saturday, October 29, 2011 and will be on view in our West Gallery through December 4, 2011. The thirteen sculptures in the exhibition push the limits of how identifications function: corporeal effort changes materials into deliberately confusing hybrid “bodies” that turn binary thinking inside out.
