"Mutasis Moon" (2021),
CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 8/29/2024

The first major monograph on rising star Tau Lewis

Made from recycled leather, seashells, sand dollars, acrylic paint, PVC pipe, galvanized steel, muslin, and recycled poly fibers, Mutasis Moon (2021) is reproduced from new release Tau Lewis, published to accompany the exhibition opening this week at ICA Boston. Book collectors take note: this is the first monograph on the thirty-year-old Jamaican-Canadian artist whose sculptural assemblage addresses Afro-Atlantic diasporic traditions. Of this particular work, ICA Boston curator Jeffrey De Blois writes, “Mutasis Moon stands tenderly with arms outstretched as if waiting for an embrace, a figure of hope and transcendence. Made from found fabric remains, it is as if this being traveled through a portal and arrived, alive and listening. It is infused with spirit, and in its presence, we remember our own smallness, our own vulnerability. In that encounter, even as we move through expansive geographies, reverberating across space and time, through the world of associations drawn together by Lewis’s capacious work, we are ultimately brought into contact with ourselves. Within every work, like hidden objects, is an invitation to consider how we might conserve our own spirit, and how ideas of material transformation always relate to our own.”
