“Erin Cluley Gallery is pleased to announce Interwoven, an exhibition of new work by three Dallas-based women sculptors, Kaleta Doolin, Catherine MacMahon, and Sarita Westrup. The exhibition will debut new basketry, textiles, and metal sculpture that stem from the artists’ enigmatic engagement with historical craft, memory, and the transformed body. Complicating the gendered associations of domestic and craft-based art, the work in Interwoven transgress binaries of masculinity and femininity through sculpture.

Doolin, MacMahon, and Westrup’s structures activate the haptic and emotive instincts within themselves, as artists and viewers: there is an urge to touch and engage with the space created by their sculptures. They coax the rigid nature of metal and stones into expressive gentility and organic fibers into sturdy, self-supporting structures. Their work is in dialogue with contemporary artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, and Sarah Sense—alongside these women, the sculptors in Interwoven radically reinvent material forms to craft a permeable space where their bodies and imagination effloresce.”
