Flatiron South, Curator in Residence: Akeem Duncan
Currently on view at The Yard: Flatiron South
A Turning of The Tables
Featuring Bronx born and raised, Tiffany Gomez of Gomez Design Studio
Curated by Akeem K. Duncan | @akeemkduncan of Quiet Lunch
ABOUT THE CURRENT EXHIBITION:
Tiffany’s work is crafted solely from construction waste salvaged locally from homes throughout NYC’s five boroughs. It is an act of architectural preservation, breathing newness into the undesirable. Through this work, Tiffany aims to look beyond issues of consumption and takes a deeper dive into how we construct the world around us. Geometrically rich works reinterpret the connections lost between us and the material world. What is typically seen as disposable matter, now connects into a larger, more focused network of intentional parts.
