Liminal Space: Bethany Cordero and Deborah Newmark at Oliva Gallery


  • Oliva Gallery 3816 West Armitage Avenue Chicago, IL, 60647 United States (map)

Cordero explores issues of identity, memory, and the impermanence of self. As we age, we are left with vestiges of thoughts- memories of a life that no longer exists. We are in a perpetual state of transition from one state of consciousness to the next. By grafting, binding, and welding these materials together, she uses the remnants to create sculptural assemblages that serve as a symbolic bridge between her selfhood of today into the liminal space of tomorrow. Each iteration is equally referential and abstract, and serve as containers for space, composition and the inherent congruency and contradictions between her past and the present.
