Mariah Johnson: How Lovely on the Mountain

  • Mariahjohnson-web2_large

Mariah Johnson's installations re-envision household order as natural phenomena, draping and wrapping bed linens over chairs, walls, and floors in ways that twist the familiar textiles into exotic forms. In How Lovely on the Mountain, Johnson relies on the chromatic and structural order of the arranged linens to support themselves. The resulting pieces are angular, meticulous stacks of sheets, and a chain of knotted pillowcases that cascades from above into a pool of neat color. It all reads like cross sections of a waterfall or the layers of soil at an excavation site.
