In Awkward, Liz Rodda and Kathleen McShane question and nudge forms through material processes. Each generates forms from reconfigured vocabularies in which narratives appear constructed, buried and uncovered in a struggle, and left to stand in an ambivalent state. Collaborative works include poster-size photographs of their drawings in sculptural configurations. Collectively, Awkward operates as a loose constellation of the familiar and unfamiliar, forming vignettes that liberate objects and images from familiar conventions—instead embracing awkwardness.
