James Ellwanger’s “Modern Bloom No. 7” initially exudes solidity with its angular forms, evoking the botanical inspiration’s dramatic silhouette. However, Ellwanger surprises by using fabric as the primary medium, subverting expectations of materiality. The artist’s manipulation of soft textiles to create a rigid, geometric form challenges perceptions, reminding viewers of reality’s complexity.
