Inside view of “The Geometry of Spacetime” installation by Taylor Hickey

Join us on June 12th, all-day, for a walk-thru of a new installation by Taylor Hickey at The Star Store called, “The Geometry of Spacetime.”

All day: 715 Purchase Street, New Bedford, MA 02740

On view from June 3 – November 13, 2026, “The Geometry of Spacetime” is a sculptural installation featuring artist, Taylor Hickey’s hand-built forms created from linocut, paper sculpture, and LEDs.

Hickey says the following about her new work, “My work can be found at a crossroad where the cosmological and mathematical intertwine with the sublime and beautiful – where philosophic questions meet scientific inquiry. With this work, I seek to remind viewers of their place within the vastness of the cosmos. Elements of light and geometry enmeshed with organic, celestial relief prints call to mind the profound mysteries of our existence – those grand questions of purpose and meaning, of beginnings and ends, of infinity – and pay homage to humankind’s endeavor to understand it all.”
