Select 6 Exhibition, online

Thrilled to be included:

“Garvey|Simon is pleased to announce Select 6, the sixth annual exhibition of work by emerging and mid-career artists chosen by director Elizabeth K. Garvey.

In the progressive spirit of the Artist Review program, Garvey will be producing Select 6 online with Artsy.net and selected works on view by appointment on the Upper West Side. By using this vetted online marketplace, the exhibition will have an extended duration, and the opportunity to reach an increasingly global audience. Though these artworks represent a diverse array of modes and aesthetics, they are united by their unwavering attention to detail, and unmistakable presence of the artist’s hand.”

Studio during quarantine, continued

As the quarantine continues, so do I, in my studio. And, as with the uncertainty of this time, so it goes in the studio. My last post reflected on bringing aspects of past work forward. I had a plan. Full stop. I’m thankful for having learned long ago that plans, sometimes, are only the beginning of the journey in the studio. I know to stay open and watchful of things taking a different direction, which brings me to this week’s discoveries that arose out of a shortage of materials and attempting to make a substitution. It didn’t work “as planned” yet brought together aspects of past projects and melded with some new thinking. These pieces are so fresh; they currently don’t have titles. I consider them somewhat ungraspable and ethereal. They appear to behave like solid, gas, and liquid all at the same time; the edges are the center.
