This exhibition features a group of artists currently living in Los Angeles. The works are primarily sculpture which range from large-scale installations to cast materials, appropriating found objects, and hand made inquiries. From the conceptual to the anthropological to the phenomenological. “Molasses happens rather quickly” probes the materiality of sculpture and visual poetry as it pertains to the human condition here southern California. The work reveals its true nature slowly, and the material itself opens the process of quickening.
