John and June Allcott Gallery, Migiwa Orimo, Strangers’ Bundles: Hours of Woods

John and June Allcott Gallery Hanes Art Center, 115 S Columbia Street, CHAPEL HILL

An interdisciplinary artist, Migiwa Orimo primarily works in installation consisting of text, drawing, objects, video and sound that explores the notions of gap, slippage, and “a realm of disjunction.” Using the concept of storage/archive as her framework, Orimo explores the relationship between public memory and private space by examining: how memories are shared and internalized; how they are stored and become stories; and, how memories and history collide.
