Ambits

The word "ambit," which means "the scope, extent, or bounds of something," offers itself as a flexible term that also references the degree of a statute or regulation as well the sphere of influence and authority of an agency, topics that surfaced consistently in my studio conversations with Kaiah, Maddox, and Shill. 

The term also brings with it a sense of "span" or "reach," words which imply the measured presence of a performing body. Equally important as another unifying principle is each artist's use of distinctive materials and cultivated processes that help to establish the specific parameters of their quiet transgressions.
