Sarah Rosalena’s exhibition “layer by layer” brings together a new body of handwoven works that shift and collapse spatial dimensionality between landscape and atmosphere.⁠
⁠
Coinciding with the upcoming unveiling of Rosalena’s monumental textile commission for the new David Geffen Galleries at @lacma , the exhibition expands her ongoing investigation - conceptually and physically - into weaving as a form of ecological mapping, where land, sky, and cosmos remain in constant relation, and constant flux.⁠
⁠
Dimension and form are observed in the micro and macro, offering views of complex weave structures and new, voluminous forms that blend basketry and textile.⁠

The paintings happen in the hours between, when things move more slowly. One starts when I get home from work. The summer heat shows no signs of relenting; on the drive home, I watched for mirages off the asphalt but found none. My roommate has gone to visit family for the month, so L. and I peel off our clothing as soon as we walk through the back door, retrieve beers from the fridge. We throw the windows wide open, but the air barely moves. Dirt from the floorboards sticks to my thighs when I sit on the ground to work. L’s sweat dampens the green chenille of the sofa and I wonder if the cushions have ever been washed, how long this couch has been in the house, how many generations of people have left the same mark.⁠

Spanning space, time, and systems of exchange, the expansive work of Malaika Temba (@mvtemba ’26) traces the threads connecting labor, migration, and global commerce.
 
Temba’s work is currently on view as part of ‘FADE’, a group exhibition by @studiomuseum
May 1-September 6
NYC
 
Transforming textile, a medium historically marginalized within the hierarchy of fine art, into one that bears the weight of labor and colonial histories, Malaika Temba’s large-scale tapestries, embroideries, and installations honor the generations of women whose quiet work has sustained households, economies, and cultures for millennia. At once intimate and global, Temba’s work extends the lineage of textile traditions into new forms as both cultural inheritance and contemporary intervention.

A toast, in retrospect, to the opening dinner party for Sarah Rosalena’s layer by layer. To the collectors, curators, artists, and friends who filled the room with intelligence, generosity, and joy. These are the evenings that remind us why we built this gallery.

Sarah Rosalena’s exhibition “layer by layer” opens today. Join us for the opening reception at 6–9 PM. Rosalena intentionally collapses the distance between weaving and mapping: the woven surface becomes both image and object, both representation and terrain. Her interdisciplinary practice moves fluidly between basketry, digital technology, natural dye processes, and handweaving to consider how land is understood, recorded, and transformed. In Layer by Layer, material itself becomes a way of rethinking the landscape — not as something fixed or extractable, but as a layered, complex ecological system, living in continual change.

"We find our way to the water through a gap in the fence behind the soccer pitch. L. walks away down the beach, returning later to show me photos of a fish carcass. The grasses along the shoreline have blackened and curled since my last visit, like fingers beckoning inwards. I sink my feet deep into the sand, make my body continuous with the shoreline. We stay until the sun has slipped behind the far buildings and we get too cold."⁠

Sarah Rosalena’s works Transposing A Form (2019) and Above Below (2020) are currently featured in the exhibition Grounded @lacma.
▫️
The Los Angeles County Museum of Art
(LACMA) presents Grounded , a multi-media exhibition that invites visitors to contemplate land not just as terrain, but as a foundation for exploring history, ecology, sovereignty, memory, and home. Through 40 works by 35 artists based across the
Americas and the Pacific, the exhibition illuminates how human experience is embedded in the land. Artists consider the lasting effects of colonialism and
imperialism; share stories of forced migration and displacement; engage with Indigenous mythologies and motifs; and retell ancestral histories by forging new aesthetic languages. Curated by @gonzorita @dhyandra

“Another, on a Sunday while traveling up I-5. It rained for most of the drive past Redding, casting the sky a grey-blue that seems outside of time, unplaceable until it’s suddenly dark. Snatches of snow have begun to appear on the mountains that peek out from the grey expanse, fringed by
green-black pines. As I work, the engine’s vibrations travel up through my arm, sending my hand dancing across the surface of the wood. The world moves through me as I move through it.“

“Another, on a Sunday while traveling up I-5. It rained for most of the drive past Redding, casting the sky a grey-blue that seems outside of time, unplaceable until it’s suddenly dark. Snatches of snow have begun to appear on the mountains that peek out from the grey expanse, fringed by
green-black pines. As I work, the engine’s vibrations travel up through my arm, sending my hand dancing across the surface of the wood. The world moves through me as I move through it.“

— Bix Archer, May 2026

Sarah Rosalena’s exhibition “layer by layer” brings together a new body of handwoven works that shift and collapse spatial dimensionality between landscape and atmosphere.⁠
⁠
Coinciding with the upcoming unveiling of Rosalena’s monumental textile commission for the new David Geffen Galleries at @lacma , the exhibition expands her ongoing investigation - conceptually and physically - into weaving as a form of ecological mapping, where land, sky, and cosmos remain in constant relation, and constant flux.⁠
⁠
Dimension and form are observed in the micro and macro, offering views of complex weave structures and new, voluminous forms that blend basketry and textile.⁠

The pine needle weavings interrupt the rigid logic of the grid - bending - into irregular terrains and shifting surface past the axis of the warp and weft. Rather than reinforcing control, the woven structures behave as expanding, fraying, and resisting fixed form.⁠
⁠
By integrating foraged pine needles into digitally drafted textile patterns, the works posit nature as an active material force - destabilizing technological precision. The needles push against technical stringency beyond a fixed extractable point, introducing asymmetry, density shifts, and material agency.⁠
