Loring Taoka's work included in Unboxed: Rethinking the Grid at Brick City Gallery
The grid is everywhere—a silent architecture underpinning the rhythms of our lives. It orders our cities, traces our maps, illuminates our screens, and segments our days into hours and minutes. On one hand, the grid embodies humanity’s aspiration for control and clarity, a testament to our impulse to tame the unruly. On the other, it is far more than a blueprint or tool of containment. Grids emerge in nature, weaving structure through root systems and neural networks. They shift, stretch, and evolve into webs of connection.
