In HI VIS Jordan Holms’s new body of work examines how the built environment is materialized, organized, and made to mean. Mining sites that she encounters online and in the everyday, her new work unsettles the prescribed distinctions between space and place. Her paintings and carpet tufts take into account objects that are coded in ways that produce space: decorative moldings; cement barricades; period furniture; wire fences; wallpaper; traffic signs; upholstery; pylons; venetian blinds. The things we find in our homes and out in the built environment that signal something about how that space makes meaning. In order to arrive at more nuanced definitions of space, in these new works Holms translates the associative properties of her materials – their colors, shapes, and textures – into abstract planes and forms.
