Come hear from the artist, Alexandra Cicorschi, about the origin story of the pieces of wood used in her works and how her new body of work "No Middle Ground" confronts situations of conflict.

Unwanted table tops become the "canvas," hacked up floors become the “brushstrokes.” For Cicorschi, salvaged objects carry within them a previous life which she continues through the process of transformation. Recycling is a way to connect to people and their stories, finding inspiration in creating something new out of something old.

Cicorschi’s new body of work is a contemplation on how people navigate situations of conflict. “No Middle Ground” is the liminal space where forces crash into each other and pull away in opposite directions. When two views confront each other with equal weight, the tension creates a need for a shift. These are situations of rivalry as well as utmost trials for solidarity between two people.
