Antonia Contro and Elizabeth Bradfield’s Theorem
By Gabrielle BatesThe words are spare, surrounded by white space, and the artwork—a range of delicate line drawings, colorful paintings, and layered collages—works in tandem with the text to build a world that highlights both aloneness and interdependence. It wrestles with autobiography and the ethics of storytelling, using the tidy, measurable aspects of geometry as a counterpoint for the chaotic, overwhelming details of lived experience.
