All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain

An exhibition of reclaimed furniture by Murat Recevik.

OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, April 6, from 7–10 p.m.

ON VIEW: Saturdays in April from 12-4pm and by appointment 

My new show, entitled "All of those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain," explores the re-purposing of discarded items into compositions that tell us a story about our past.

As an immigrant who has lived in this country for twenty years, I particularly aware of the shedding and discarding that goes on both materially and mentally.

Characterized by a quote from the classic dystopian film Blade Runner, this series of work explores and laments lost and forgotten pieces and products in our globalized and plasticated age. This show presents the evolution of from older work focusing on the re-structuring of cast-off wood parts to my newer work which also draws on the imagery and meaning of old marbles, glass jar lids, optical materials such as phoropters, magnify glasses or microscope eye pieces - all of which had uses and touched other people's lives. Each of those items brings its own story. All of these materials were once assumed within people's own moments. Through this work, I want to bring those faded or long-ago lost moments into a proper composition. Even though all of these items may not have individual purposes in this day and age, my goal is to keep these items in our lives in some way that tells us a story about our past.
