Looming Chaos

Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art, Kennesaw, GA

January 25 - July 26, 2020

Looming Chaos was a solo exhibition of Atlanta-based artist Zipporah Camille Thompson that explores her use of weaving to engage ideas of chaos. The artist conceptualizes chaos as the consuming cyclical processes of life driven by a universal yearning for wholeness. Through object and material choice, Thompson materializes the destruction, disorder, and confusions of the world, weaving them into structure and order. Thompson’s weaving practice allows her to reconcile the deterioration of the environment, tumultuous personal histories, and the complexity of her own identity as fodder for creation.
