Press Release
Raque Ford infuses abstraction with narrative potential, producing layered works that explore how identity is crafted from the remnants of popular culture. Known for her distinctive way of working with materials, Ford troubles the line between formal registers, using reflective acrylic and transparent mylar, welded steel chains, and laser-cut text. Her high-gloss surfaces are incised with spidery script that quotes from a wide range of sources: pop song lyrics, snippets of con-versation, excerpts from fiction, and diaristic jottings. The exhibition Cry Baby fills the space of KUNSTVEREIN GARTENHAUS with sculptural objects, and haunting language while collapsing the boundaries between private and collective, personal and social, opening new relational dimensions.
A new Wild Seeds publication #4, Cry Baby, collecting Ford’s poetry and writing will accompany the exhibition and launch on the opening night.
