Artist Bio: Jim Hodges (b. 1957, Spokane) took his MFA at Pratt in 1986 and has been a senior critic in sculpture at the Yale School of Art. His practice was shaped by ACT UP activism and the AIDS era, and he is known for making ephemeral, delicate materials carry great weight — silk artificial flowers sewn into curtains and webs, spider webs in chain, mirrors, gold leaf, embroidery and glass — with fragility, temporality, love, loss and light as recurring themes. The tension between conventionally decorative or craft-associated materials and real gravity is his signature. ”Even Here” is a series of twelve pigment prints of 2008; the complete set is in the collection of SFMOMA.
