We work in a continuum, where projects bleed from one to the next as we build our personal library/lexicon of images and objects through permissions and access to archives and collections.
—Katie Parker, Future Retrieval
Underground World Experience is a feast of color and texture built of small units that represent the most recent iteration of Guy Michael Davis and Katie Parker's generative and research-based process. The artist duo, known as Future Retrieval, present biomimetic textiles, handmade paper, and ceramics inspired by the earthy colors and lush flora of the Sonoran desert and made during their residency at Taliesin West, legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s desert laboratory based in Scottsdale, AZ. This exhibition extends Future Retrieval's ongoing study around the idea of the home as a self-sustaining microcosm through research into architecture, mycology, marbled paper, and desert masonry.
