Poetics of Places highlights the work of two artists: Ziba Rajabi and Suzanna Schreckhise. Both artists live in Fayetteville, Arkansas and work with the language of abstraction. Materiality, texture, color, and shape all play essential roles in their work, which contains gestures and forms that evoke specific times and places, and question historical narratives. Salvaged pieces of wood from a dying tree in Schreckhise’s front yard have been bent by hand into new sculptural forms. Rajabi’s drawings from memories of a now far away home evoke familiar feelings of both reconciliation and longing. Viewer interpretation and participation are encouraged.
