rhonda saboff (parker pine)
rhonda saboff / (parker pine) describes herself as a ‘field artist’. She learned in the field, the field being the junkyard, where materials arrive already marked by use, damage and time. This exhibition brings together works made between 1987 and the present, tracing a practice that has remained committed to that way of learning and working.
The work is receptive rather than planned. Forms emerge from the material itself, a broken slat already a witch’s finger, a knot already a face, but also from the world pressing in: cultural figures, remembered images, the planes that pass overhead on their way to and from the Burbank airport.
Growing up with a father who worked as a junkman, rhonda developed an early sensitivity to what gets discarded and what remains. Scraps, leftovers and splinters are not secondary materials in this work, they are the foundation.
