In “Don’t Climb the Pyramids ,” Somerville-based artist Robin Dash presents new drawings, paintings, sculpture and video, works that are connected by threads including loss and reclamation, lines and space, media and messages.

In her new series of “Obituary Drawings,” for example, Dash uses names and stories found in The New York Times’ obituaries as a starting point for her own formal and personal investigations, and in her video, “Open Clothes,” Dash looks at laundry lines and neighbors, creating a poetic musing on intimacy and the mundane.

In her “Abundance Paintings,” “Lost-in-Space Paintings,” and paintings from the series “The Attachments” Dash continues her sophisticated exploration of color and form, now in intense dialog with the textiles of our lives, including fabric strips, used clothing, felt, wool and cotton, each burdened or bursting with the mysteries of their prior lives. And Dash’s “Reattachment Sculptures” (which were each recognizable as unglazed mass-produced dishes and figurines before the artist smashed, reassembled and glazed them) exist as whimsical three-dimensional collages – abstract, but here and there revealing a bit of a horse’s tail, or maybe a dog’s face.
