Abattoir: Eleanor Conover
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
These sort-of-paintings, sort-of-sculptures by Maine-based Eleanor Conover are impossible to capture by photograph; they bulge and bend, showing off their hand-made supports. “They go through a pretty labor-intensive process,” Conover told me, “of bleaching and dyeing and acrylic stain and sewing before I even get to the point of being able to pile paint on top of it.”
