\"\"<\/a>5\/2 SOUTHWEST CONTEMPORARY: Bands of Light: Matthew Sketch\u2019s\u00a0FAM(ily)
\n<\/i><\/strong>
\nCulminating his residency at UMOCA, Matthew Sketch\u2019s FAM(ily) exhibition comprises a series of untitled mixed media pieces that explore the relationship between light and land. Each of the four pieces is built from similar elements but is compositionally unique. At the center of each, and core to the series is the sun, made from gold leaf. From there, thick, teal lines intersect, support, or otherwise interact with each other, which creates the look of abstract landscapes. The Wasatch mountains that create Salt Lake\u2019s iconic skyline are represented here for the way that light interacts with them more than their shape or grandeur.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>4\/26 SLTRIB: After 15 years, frame and print shop Signed & Numbered still a pillar in Salt Lake City\u2019s art scene<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you went to a concert in Salt Lake City in the late 2000s, you could probably find the show\u2019s promotional poster, designed by artist Leia Bell, and the band\u2019s latest album on vinyl \u2014 all in one building.<\/p>\n

Located at 221 E. Broadway at the time, Bell\u2019s downtown store and gallery, Signed & Numbered, sat in the basement, with record store Slowtrain just above it. The one-stop spot once well known to music lovers has since been demolished, but Bell and her husband, Phil Sherburne, are still celebrating 15 years of being in business as Signed & Numbered.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>4\/26 SOUTHWEST CONTEMPORARY: Environment, Disability, and the Drying of the Great Salt Lake<\/strong><\/p>\n

As Utah faces the evaporation of the Great Salt Lake, Utahns are finding ways to orient themselves in disaster.<\/p>\n

For\u00a0Stephanie Choi<\/a>, the process is familiar. In her lyric essay, \u201cSpine: Rematerialized,\u201d Choi unravels the reality of living with a back brace after a scoliosis diagnosis at age twelve. \u201cThe only time I took it off was to shower, and for swim practice,\u201d Choi writes. \u201cThus, I only knew my body separate from the brace whenever I was in water.\u201d<\/p>\n

Choi\u2019s essay was included in a fall 2022 exhibition at the Salt Lake City Public Library through\u00a0Art Access Utah<\/a>\u00a0titled\u00a0Embodied Ecologies<\/em>\u00a0that evinced the relationship between environment and disability through twenty-four pieces from twelve contributing artists. \u201cSpine: Rematerialized\u201d was printed in a book alongside a swimming lane line and canvases of watercolor spines that attendees could spray with water. This interaction presented an opportunity for people to glimpse the tactile connection Choi feels between her body and bodies of water. Her reflections acknowledge the ways disability takes shape in response to an environment. When she wasn\u2019t swimming, Choi hid her back brace under large t-shirts and baggy clothing. \u201cNo classmate ever saw or noticed it \/ No one sees it, no one notices \/ How it\u2019s still around me: all plastic, stickered,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n
