Artist Spotlight: Finn Geiger ⭐
Themes of disability, the body and the degenerative nature of time are interwoven into Finn Geiger’s work through the exploration of leaves as a metaphor for human life. These organic materials are unstable, changing in physical form and creating a generative relationship between the artist and material.
Use of ephemeral material creates a new vocabulary for growth through decay that is simultaneously contradictory and expansive. In Geiger’s work, change and precarity are key aspects of the process of creation, rather than destructive.
Sewing leaves into an organic patchwork gives form to labors and ways of being that are rendered invisible in everyday life. Bodies exist, grow, decay and function in ways that are paradoxical. Skeletonized leaves are sewn together with solid leaves to emphasize the intrinsic variability and incongruence with organic life. In Geiger’s work, the boundary between states of life/decay is porous.
Discover Geiger’s work in the “2026 Senior Exhibition,” on view through May 9. Join us in celebrating the artists at a reception on Friday, May 8, 5-7 p.m.
The Warehouse Gallery is free and open to the public.
