to woo, to wane,
to bind, to bear

Marissa Cote & Savannah Flores
March 27 - February 6, 2025
Bibliowicz Gallery, Cornell University


In this two person exhibition, Savannah Flores (BFA ‘25) and Marissa Cote (MFA ‘26) meet at the intersection of time and material. Their craft-based practices take on similar points of inquiry, examining familial and systemic wounding throughout personal and social history and mapping generational knowledge, change, and possibility. Both artists maintain a steadfast curiosity for how material-based practice and object-making offer a poetic foundation for their work. The artists entangle their work in a complex web of relations through binding, piecing, wrapping, knotting, stitching, weaving, enmeshing, and draping. Flores and Cote seek to understand where we have been through personal, familial, social, and relational lenses to understand where we are and where we can go from here.
