Irregular Around the Margins, a solo show of new works by Eleanor Anderson upcoming at Abattoir Gallery, features large scale felt and fabric collages that are materially intricate – beads, ropes, bags, and balls protrude from saturated industrial felt into the 2.5 dimension, connected through hand and machine embroidery. Frayed edges contrast against the smooth canvas of felt, each texture becoming an assertive design element. Anderson pits intricately crafted moments against sculptural gestures, creating pieces that initially read as overall compositions but challenge the viewer to a game of eye spy.

Julie Schenkelberg grew up in the post-industrial landscape of Cleveland, Ohio. Her mixed-media installations start with furniture, dishware, textiles, and marble, combined with concrete, resin, and construction materials, to transform notions of domesticity, and engage with the American Rust Belt's legacy of abandonment and decay. Using the home as a playground for formal and conceptual subversions, the work aggressively disrupts cohesion within the physical sphere. Familiar furnishings rekindle memories or premonitions of collapse, suggesting both the utter destruction of war, calamities, or urban decay, but also the uncanny juxtapositions of fragile substances such as cloth and china, with industrial materials such as rusty metal, heavy concrete, and tool-made marks such as drilled holes and chain-sawed indentations.
