Fiona Connor “On What Remains, Part Two” at Lisa Cooley

As in the first part of On What Remains, Connor reworks a structure and context from the built environment to create a sculpture that explores presence and disappearance. The gallery’s wall is meant to function only as a neutral frame, support, or border for art, yet Connor highlights it as an object of investigation. On the other side, the cheese store’s wall appears within the gallery space, but foreshadows the eventual physical disappearance of the market. Seen across these layers of history, Connor’s sculpture presents a 75-year record of accumulated use and social change.
