We all know artists usually have day jobs, but its intriguing to come across one whose day job is so intimately linked with her off-the-clock creative pursuits. Fiber artist and teacher Su Job, who shows work this month in the tiny Corridor gallery (literally a corridor upstairs at the Tashiro-Kaplan artists building), also manages Fiber at Large, a design studio that takes her work around the world. Her Urban Equations here are meant to show how scientific theories enter our peripheral consciousness and affect our views of daily life. Visually, this translates to complex equations embroidered in a Russian needlework style, laid over solarized and otherwise altered images from Jobs neighborhood. You cant be entirely sure what shes getting atonly that its on her mind, and her hands, day after day.
