The exhibition is part of the DMA's ongoing series featuring the work of emerging artists. Annette Lawrence is on view at the DMA until Aug. 6 in the Northeast Quadrant Gallery.
Admission is free.
The museum is located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas between St. Paul and Harwood streets. The installation is made of string, brown paper, packing tape and fabric fasteners. Paper fastened to the floor serves as an anchor for the string, which rises to the ceiling in concentric circles. Paper strips attach to the center of each wall and function as anchors for horizontal lines that control movement in the space. Lawrence's works on paper, which often appear spare and abstract on first encounter, are actually detailed explorations of aspects of the artist's life.
