Whiteout

ICEHOUSE Project Space and ODETTA are excited to present Project #6, Gelah Penn's installation WHITEOUT. WHITEOUT will open in conjunction with the Sharon Art Walk which takes place on September 7, 2019, 4–7 pm. It will be available to visit by appointment for the following month and will culminate in a closing reception on October 5th from 4–6.

The artist's approach for this project was to consider the icehouse windows in terms of structure, light, and shadow while alluding to their lens-like function that permits glimpses of an enigmatic world. Two zones, with primary components in multiples of six, reference the grid of the building's windows.

Penn says, "My sense of scale and visual ambiguity leads me to use simple, lightweight, synthetic stuffs, plastic garbage bags, Mylar, optical plastics and mosquito netting. These I cut, tear, layer, stretch, and staple in site-responsive installations and constructed drawings."
