Cocoons of silk ready to be wound is an exhibition of new fabric works by Xi Li that expand upon the metaphor of image as container. Drawing from decorative arts encyclopedias, architecture surveys, and craft manuals, Li scans, prints, photographs, and collages her sources through degrees of removal and transformation. The resulting semi-translucent fabric works—stretched against wooden box frames—filter imagery through silk, assuming a hazy ephemerality akin to fragmented memory. Like cocoons, the works unravel only to be rewound again.
