July 14 - October 20, 2017 - The exhibition also includes sculpture, drawing and weaving to expand upon the themes of division and connection. Precariously balanced on tables and mirrors, Benson’s hybrid instruments stir uneasiness in the viewer as their off-kilter nature suggests perpetual turmoil. In a sister work shredded flags combine all the emblems of the countries where the brothers’ immediate family live. Along with drawings made by repeated turns of her half-instruments, charcoal self-portraits made by blindly rubbing her own body and a series of incised texts that transform book pages into musical scales, Benson cobbles fertile new forms from the fractures of old.
