"Anima Motrix" January 5-January 31, 2012  Curated by Jessica Lo; Contact (702)400-6529

anima motrix, her moving spirit.

She is circling,

    in their orbits by an "anima motrix,” unclothed, exposed, raw and stripped bare. Herrington's work deals with surface, an epidermic attraction exemplified in her new work. The skin-like texture reveals determined sexuality; a writing of the body of delicate strands encircling the shapes, caressing the canvas.  Her amorphous forms are familiar. Spheres, peaking lines, indistinguishable from afar, resembling eggs, ropes or teardrops upon closer inspection. Each nestles among intricately rendered lines with delicate strands wrapping bodies and floating across the surface. These complex figures and autonomous threads emulate ropes, knots, spider webs, tree branches and gnarled roots. They protrude and gather, forming tumescent lumps bound by cords revealing their backgrounds through nests of negative space.  While exploring the concept of "anima motrix', Herrington's mark-makings and forms display a synchronized rhythm; they resonate and hover in ambiguous spaces, yearning for gravity. Yearning for ground. Within this body of work, she realizes... that which grounds us, actually sets us free. "Her moving spirit," is revealed in a glimpse of private exposure.
