Flo Low is a British-Armenian artist, graphic designer, and art educator based in Brooklyn. They use printmaking and textile to explore the figures and landscapes of the past, how they shape us and how we shape them in response to loneliness and alienation. In their practice, they gather found fragments that give us a glimpse into the layered history around us, including city typography, which they have published as the NYC ABCs, and Armenian food history, published as Recipes from a Free Artsakh. Inspired by the children they work with, their ongoing project Bags for Life plays with form and function through designing and making single-purpose (but not single use) bags.
How do the horrors of the world transform us? Does shapeshifting always lead to liberation?
Tereus, the husband of Procne, sits down to gorge himself; unbeknownst to him, Procne has made this feast out of their own son, in an act of revenge for his rape and mutilation of her sister Philomela. After the gruesome meal, the only way that they may continue to exist in this world is through their metamorphosis into a hoopoe, a nightingale and a swallow.
