Ross Woodrow: Order from Ruins

Ross Woodrow: Order from Ruins - Feb 14 to Mar 8
Featuring classical fragments of columns and capitals pulled from large copper-plate etchings, Woodrow references the agency and impact of these long-established and architectural orders not to advocate for a return to rules or codes, but to their scale, coloration, and muscular surface as a material metaphor and comparison to the human body. These columns and capitals, with their intricate, fluid and evolving character, manifest a millennia-old impulse to shape stone, marble, and now etched copper, into an anthropomorphic microcosmos, transcending any logical rules or ways of thinking. Experience this compelling dialogue between architecture and the human body up close, and discover how Woodrow’s practice invites you to rethink the boundaries of material, form, and meaning.
