Third Object is pleased to announce Slow Stretch, an exhibition of work by Sarah & Joseph Belknap and Eileen Rae Walsh.
In distinct yet parallel ways, Walsh and the Belknaps seek out moments of awe and mesmerization. Their works evoke sublime natural phenomena in a shared attempt to capture sensations of discovery and engrossment. In Slow Stretch, Walsh and the Belknaps collaborate on a floor-to-ceiling installation of photography and sculpture that blurs the lines of authorship. The culmination of a long-running exchange between the artists and curators, this exhibition and accompanying publication speaks to the nature of collaborative creative practice.
