Gay Outlaw at Refusalon - San Francisco, California - Reviews of Exhibitions - Brief ArticleBulky Black stockings Mountain, the highlight of Gay Outlaw's exhibition, stretched about 10 feet high, shut to Refusalon's ceiling. This quirky, strange, just-right statuary is large in size and ambition. Its distinctive graphic nearness filled the gallery. Alabama-born and now living in San Francisco, Outlaw (ye that's her birth name) set uped Black Hose Mountain from more than a mile of dishwasher drain stockings cut on the diagonal into 2-inch pieces and glu above an eccentric wooden armature in like manner as to protrude at about a 45-degree angle. Each portion of hose is filled with plaster. When viewed from the room's entrance, the mountain's skin of white-cored black stockings resembled polka-dot fabric. As you walked around the mode of building the pattern kept changing almost filmically, provoking a range of associations: waves, feathers, organ pipes, level penguins. The artist has noted that the mountain's shape recalls the hulking position of Rodin's Balzac. Like Black stockings Mountain, Outlaw's "Chalk Hill" series of hemispheres of tightly packed blackboard chalks also explores illusion and the massing of many single units. Works in this series, sum of two units on the floor and single on a pedestal, all approximately a paw in diameter, look like little Op-art satellites A dot or oval of black paint upon the end of each chalk stick makes it appear to have a black core; again, the surface changes as individual moves around the piece. These chalk particulars relate to earlier works in which Outlaw layered pencils. She likes using public functional materials, enjoying the symbolic connotations of these old-fashioned communication and teaching tools. Trained in Paris as a pastry chef, she has also designed sculptures out of fruit, cleanse cakes and puff pastry. Springs in Caramel, made with cast caramelized sugar, was displayed in the gallery's lobby Metal springs embedded in a gradually softening and dripping caramel cube created a strange faculty of perception of disintegration. Chalk Cone also provided surprises. It at first direct the eyeed like a bowl sitting upon top of a stand. on the contrary walking around the white-painted made of wood pedestal, one discovered its render free of access fourth side, which revealed that the "bowl" was simply the top several inches of an elegant, elongated chalk-stick cone 40 inches of great depth smoothly plastered on the outside and suspended within the pedestal. Despite the labor-intensive nature of Outlaw's constructivist work, it has a delicious cutting side of playfulness that I trust she never loses.
