Serum is an exhibition of new work by Albuquerque artist Erin Lynn Forrest. The exhibit uses its namesake, the amber colored fluid of the blood, as a leaping off point; a metaphor for things curative and essential. Combining large-scale sculptures with delicate two-dimensional works, Forrest creates an environment in which to consider the analogies, as well as the intersections, between individual and social bodies.
Serum weaves together the artist’s tributes to her many friends and community members who donated blood for the project, with works that reference both absurd and purposeful rituals for collective repair. Bandages are wrapped, remedies prepared. Songbirds lost in long-ago sacrifices are given new life in Forrest’s exhibit; a flock come together with blood-tipped wings.
