Dawn Ertl, MFA, Sculpture
Dawn Ertl, Radius of Action
Radius of Action, was a term coined during World War II from the expression “The Point of No Return.” This term was employed to describe the maximum distance a military vehicle could travel in order to still have enough fuel in reserve to return to home base. Built into this concept is a systematic approach that accounts for available resources and factors in sustainable limits. The works in this exhibition are guided by a similar ethos, in many ways our industrial consumer society is at a critical point were there is no going back, we need to figure out a new plan to survive and sustain life.
This exhibition features two different weaving installations, each dealing with our relationships to one another and the environments we inhabit. I am using music notations and captured weather data as variables to make systems coded for the loom. While making each piece, I introduce a multitude of human byproducts and actions to disrupt the natural progression of the process of weaving. The two installations are meant to create a sense of tension and contrast between one another, for instance one installation has a gestural or aggressive presence while the other has a contemplative or calming effect.
About Dawn Ertl
My name is Dawn, I’m a graduate student in sculpture, and this is my last semester here. It was fun while it lasted, : ) I got my BFA at Otis School of Art and Design. While going to school here I was president of Fine Arts Roundtable for 3 years, which is the group that organizes the annual GLAMFA Exhibition (Greater Los Angeles MFA Exhibition). I also started a teaching program for grads and alumni enabling them to teach workshops to undergrads. You can read more about that on the website:
