Anglim/Trimble hosts Ricki Dwyer and Woody De Othello in conversation. This event is in conjunction with the exhibition Ricki Dwyer: Brass Tacks, showing now through July 30, 2022.
Ricki Dwyer is a San Francisco-based visual artist working primarily in sculpture. His work often combines cloth drapery with metal hardware or found objects, bringing craft labor, economics, and identity construction into dialogue with one another. In joining haptic practices and consumer purchasing, material histories are blurred into an ambiguous and visceral reading of coded relationships. Slipping handcrafted elements within industrially fabricated objects Dwyer points to our social contradictions of value presentation. Often resting on idioms and ambiguous imagery the sculptures consistently stand for multiple truths. Ricki Dwyer is a San Francisco based visual artist working primarily in sculpture. He has an MFA in Art Practice from UC Berkeley, CA. He recently completed a residency at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, WI. And is supported by the San Francisco Arts Commission.
Woody De Othello (b. 1991 Miami, FL) completed his MFA at the California College of Arts in San Francisco in 2017. He received his BFA from Florida Atlantic University with a concentration in Ceramics. Othello has exhibited widely in group exhibitions, including the John Michael Kohler Arts Center (2022), Fabric Workshop in Philadelphia (2021), FRONT International: Cleveland Triennial (2018), the 33rd Ljubljana Biennial in Slovenia (2019), and “Sleight of Hand” at the Center for Craft in Asheville, NC (2020). His work is in many permanent collections, including but not limited to: Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; Seattle Art Museum, Seattle; LACMA, Los Angeles. In 2018, Othello was commissioned by the San Francisco Arts Commission to create a permanent outdoor installation at The San Francisco International Airport. Othello’s work can currently be seen in Quiet as It’s Kept, the 85th Whitney Biennial. He is represented by Jessica Silverman in San Francisco and KARMA in New York. Othello lives and works in Oakland, CA.
