SaraNoa Mark’s (b. 1991, New York) debut exhibition with Dreamsong synthesizes the artists's many interests, including Seljuk architecture, Assyrian palace reliefs, Talmudic typesetting, and the land art movement, into a sculptural practice evocative of the ruins and remnants of civilizational ebb and flow. Invoking cuneiform tablets and the excavated foundations of ancient cisterns and citadels, the artist’s carved clay and cast glass reliefs incorporate built and written archaeological histories into a singular visual language of imagined topographies and cryptic inscriptions.
