The Carrying Stones Project, from artist Sawyer Rose, shines a light on the systemic and pervasive inequalities that working women face, including the physical, emotional, and practical effects of these disproportionate labor loads. The artworks in this show portray the deeply personal work stories of a diverse group of women and are accompanied by the data that tells a bigger story. The women profiled are a mix of ages, ethnicities, sexual orientations, occupations, and socio-economic statuses.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
As the New Museum of Los Gatos opens for in person viewing, so too does SAWYER ROSE: Carrying Stones, a remarkable exhibition that renders visible the burdens placed on women during the pandemic. SAWYER ROSE materializes data in expansive installations, thus rendering the labor as wood, acrylic, linen, and other tactile materials. It is truly a multimedia exhibition of sculpture, photography, and social practice; there is something for everyone in SAWYER ROSE.
You can book timed tickets in advance for the show, and importantly, admission is free for essential workers.
