Stephan Soihl: Spaces Between
For over four decades, Blackfish founding member Stephan Soihl has been tinkering with materials, machines, flowers and the spaces between. Spaces Between presents a retrospective of clever kinetic sculptures, other 3D works, and his glowing watercolors. The latter are perennially delicate depictions of garden flora, each work made by roaming the garden with an easel, pairing plants that would otherwise not mingle.
These works highlight the artist’s role as creator of realms, places where small machines chirp for you, where tomatoes ripen beside the sweet williams. Here, we come together to participate in Soihl’s somewhere, a place where we ourselves may become instances of art.
