In Tove Storch’s "Untitled", a state of potentiality is translated into tangible form. Here, the intelligibility of material and form is used to wedge, balance, and offset the inherent force of physical matter. This process is open-ended and vividly metamorphic; the artist is both witness and accomplice. If, on one side, she lends her hand to the creation of a structure, on the other, she steps back – allowing the material’s inner logic to unfold and observing its manifestation with the same sense of wonder as the viewer.

Often working with silk and metal, Storch positions her mode of expression between the strictly formal and something intimately connected to the body and emotions. She frequently offsets tension and slackness in her exploration of shifting states of strength: Can silk break down metal? How does the liquid shape the solid? What effect does time have on form? Through their colors, subject matter, and gestures, the works weave themselves into archetypal narratives of gender, romance, and sexuality, while quietly resisting fixed interpretations – slipping free from preconceived readings with a subtle, graceful defiance.
