Rena Detrixhe, “ Ephemeral Rugs.”  

[graphigeek-blog]

Ornate Dirt Rug by Rena Detrixhe

The artist has a deep rooted love for transitional art, the ephemeral nature of these rugs alluring her in. For her contemporary piece, she has collected the dirt by hand from her surrounding Oklahoma landscape, bringing an important context to the earth-based faux textiles. That is the reason she identifies herself as a ‘hunter and gatherer of materials,’ always on the lookout for new things to incorporate in her art. Detrixhe, through her installation, is taking a walk down memory lane, back to her childhood days where she used to seek joy playing with thousands of grains of sand.  “This rich red earth is the land of the dust bowl, the end of the Trail of Tears, land runs and pipelines, deep fault-lines and hydraulic fracturing,” said Detrixhe in her artist statement.

One of her red dirt rugs is currently a part of the group exhibition Shifting Landscapes at Form & Concept in Santa Fe, New Mexico through May 20, 2017. Or view her other works on her website.

Finely sifted red soil imported from Oklahoma becomes a patterned carpet in Rena Detrixhe’s first New York solo show at Spencer Brownstone Gallery. Using a trowel to smooth down the dirt, then imprinting it with modified shoe soles, the Kansas-based artist considers the symbolic value attached to land in the mid-west while alluding to mankind’s impact on it. (On view on the Lower East Side through June 16th). Rena Detrixhe, Red Dirt Rug, sifted red soil, 20 x 10 feet, 2019.
