But like everything else here, the piece is about more than appearances. ThereвЂ™s something inherently mirthful about it - muppet-like, in a whistle-while-you work kind of way. That takes direct shape in the 16-foot-tall broom that towers over one of the galleries here, its long gray tendrils snaking down to pool in a heap on the floor. By the yearвЂ™s end, it had taken a darkly dramatic turn the artist turned her mind to a future world better than the one that had begun to take shape - because what, in her mind, could be worse? - but with a catastrophic mess to clean up. Cox-Richards was first approached by Mass MoCA senior curator Denise Markonish in 2016, with the political landscape shading toward divisiveness and rage. вЂњWeep holes,вЂќ like a lot of things in our pandemic-paused lives, has been a long time coming. But the show is less about futility than the value of keeping the struggle alive, and the collective work of redress and repair in an unendingly anxious moment in American life.ДЄ 16-foot-tall broom will be recycled when the show 'Lily Cox-Richard: Weep Holes' at Mass MoCA is over. The implied futility is intentionally comic, and therein, I think, lies the point: Nothing is ever perfect, especially now, so give yourself a break. It seems like an apt metaphor for the general chaos of the pandemic and its multiplier effect on always-present political and social division the past few years have felt a lot like trying to keep the ball in the air while the mess underneath rambled uncontrollably in every direction.Д¬ox-RichardвЂ™s tomato cage jacks are scattered too widely to imagine collecting them with anything resembling efficiency (Mass MoCAвЂ™s enormously high ceilings mean some sculptures placed at unreachable removes high overhead). ThereвЂ™s no time to lose: Scatter the jacks, then toss up the ball and snatch up some jacks in the scant moments before it falls back to ground. You might know jacks as a childвЂ™s game of another era loosely about cleaning up your own mess.
