Make Room is proud to present Sarah Rosalena’s exhibition layer by layer: bringing together a new body of handwoven works that shift and collapse spatial dimensionality between landscape and atmosphere.

layer by layer coincides with the upcoming unveiling of Rosalena’s monumental textile commission for the new David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and expands her ongoing investigation both conceptually and physically into weaving as a form of ecological mapping, where land, sky, and cosmos remain in constant relation, and constant flux. Dimension and form are observed in the micro and macro, offering views of complex weave structures and new, voluminous forms that blend basketry and textile.
