CIA Senior’s Pop-Up Show Reflects on How Clothing Impacts and Expresses Its Wearer

Fri 5/31 @ 6-8PM

Sat 6/1-Sun 6/2

Casey Wehrman is going into her senior year at the Cleveland Institute of Art, majoring in Sculpture + Expanded Media. And she’s showing a promising entreprenurial spirit: she’s already put together a solo show. Titled Clothing as Evidence, this pop-up show opens Praxis Fiber Arts Gallery Friday May 31 and will be on view through Sunday June 2.

The show features full-sized prints of embellished and embossed garments that bear the marks of those who wore them, reflecting on how clothing impacts the person who wears it.

We’re also told that the artist “is pursuing the indexicality of printmaking in this series, giving these articles of clothing a moment to cement the place and time of their existence.” She’s also clearly pursuing a course in art jargon! She continues more directly though, stating, “I’m fascinated by clothing’s ability to act as evidence to showcase the memory of skin. Clothing’s ability to embellish, protect, hide, emphasize, attach, and embed itself to the wearer are all themes I explore in Clothing as Evidence. I also investigate the experience of leaving garments on view as an intimate act of honesty and openness by displaying the prints on clotheslines strung throughout the gallery.”
