Web and Combs

Galit Silver

Offsite exhibition

February 21 — March 11, 2022

This project was exhibited in a nonfunctioning storage garage. There are two main thoughts that were leading these works, one is the act of a spider, finding an abandoned pile of clothes, or the back of an unused furniture for that matter, and making his temporary, silk web. Implementing this action, as also a sort of battle from a passive, depressed state the “leaves” thrown objects around, and weaving on these states a shiny, maybe precious, web.

The other thought is the combing, maybe this is the opposite action of webbing and weaving. Combs that are made to detangle messes, clear up, organize wild hairs.
