Optical Disparity
Alex Trimino

Alex Trimino’s illuminated totem poles mesh well with Miami’s signature nightlife vibrancy. Old ways and new technologies commingle to express social views on civilization, technology and gender. Her use of crochet, knitting and found objects layered over neon tubes invite the viewer to contemplate the similarities between the hi-tech and colloquial objects.
