A Slice Of The Expanse is a two-person show concerning the depiction of landscape. Erika Hanson and Ian Breidenbach create installations that explore the depiction of place, with the inherent distortion of memory, through the presentation of objects.
Erika Lynne Hanson creates installations that combine video and weavings of landscape where the failure of the hand and/or technology implicates the viewer in the process of representation. Her work shifts in and out of abstraction and foregrounds the misrepresentation inherent in all methods of communication.

Ian Breidenbach’s installations are comprised of the constructed memorabilia from road trips depicted in Ann Commanding Infinity, his narrative work composed of seventeen chapters accounting for one year in the life of an empathic artist named Ann. For this show, Ian is presenting objects from chapter 10, a road trip to the Petrified Forest.

Erika Lynne Hanson has an MFA from the California College of Arts in San Francisco. She recently was in the two person show, Icicles in Caves, at Field Projects in New York and was in the first group show, Used, at The Alice in 2015.

Ian Breidenbach has a BFA from Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. His recent shows include L. O. G. Gallery in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Ditch Projects in Springfield, Oregon. Ian is also the owner and curator at Neon Heater Gallery in Findley, Ohio.
