Virginia Lee Montgomery-FACILITATOR
8410 Sunset Blvd. and 9039 Sunset Blvd. (1OAK)
August 1st,2019-September 30th,2019
In her meticulously constructed videos, Virginia Lee Montgomery conjures a surreal and idiosyncratic visual vocabulary, frequently populated by oozing honey, animate ponytails, and manicured hands. VLM (as she self-references) turns these objects, which she describes as “mind map scribing,” inwards, rendering the contours of her own subconscious and the logic of her dreams and memories. VLM makes work about circles — psychic or material ones, and what unexpectedly excretes out of these open holes. Collectively, these forms and gestures rupture material surfaces, opening portals to unknown ends.
