Kate Stone: Empty Nest

Time Equities Inc. Art-in-Buildings is pleased to announce the newest exhibition at the West 10th Window: Kate Stone, Empty Nest.

Kate Stone’s Empty Nest transforms the West 10th Window into a miniaturized, abandoned apartment that has come to life. Stone imagines a leaking ceiling dripping onto the carpet below, the result of a broken faucet, old pipe, or the weeping architecture of an anthropomorphized, lonely home. The invented leak has watered the carpet, causing it to grow into a stalagmite or tree-like form that threatens to take over the space. “Roots” creep into the back room of the house, which is only visible through a small doorway, hinting at a larger area beyond the viewer’s sightline. In Empty Nest, Stone creates a modern myth, transforming the apartment into a living, growing, creature that has been left behind.
