Special to The Independent Rebecca Cross: Suspended Animations will continue in the Massillon Museum’s Studio M through June 16. Through large-scale drawings and an installation, Suspended Animations considers the current moment, in the context of an environmentally fragile world. Find a podcast interview with the artist at https://www.massillonmuseum.org/533.
HIGHLIGHTS Suspended Animations includes a series of drawings on silk, Horizon Series (2021), and a silk sculptural installation, entitled Rock Cloud (2021). Fragility, impermanence, hidden strength in delicacy, as seen in the Horizon Series, have always been themes of Cross’s work. Silk, her primary medium, creates the illusion of fragility because it is both diaphanous and strong.
Bailey Yoder will talk about the exhibition Play Like a Girl: Massillon Women’s Tiger Teams from Gym Class to Title IX, which can be seen at the Massillon Museum.
