Proxy Traverse
September 28-October 28, 2024
Opening September 28, 4:00-6:00 p.m.
The Garage is pleased to present Proxy Traverse, a book and installation made in collaboration with Suzanna Zak, featuring the artist’s photographs and unique, soldered, stained-glass works. Zak’s photographs come from over a decade of wandering “through foothills, valleys, basins, granite summit blocks, watersheds, and everything in between,” primarily around Payahuunadü, the “land of flowing water” in the Owens Valley and Eastern Sierra region of California.
Zak’s installation in the Garage features the edition of unique glass boxes she has meticulously constructed using shards of colored, textured glass and lead-free solder that function as both sculptural objects and holders of the limited edition artist books. A selection of glass wall works is also on display.
Proxy Traverse has also been realized in two distinct book forms: a limited edition of 10 perfect-bound, cased-in books housed in unique stained-glass boxes and an edition of 50 staple-bound books with gatefold covers. Each book includes photographs of Zak’s glass wall works by Christian Patterson and an essay by Cooper Campbell.
