This exhibit focuses on our personal endeavors that shape us over time. While distance, time and personal issues may separate us physically, there is a shared energy that continues to bring us together.
Through curiosity and a love for making, we remain in conversation with one another, exchanging inspiration while pushing forward in our own practices.
The works in this exhibition mirrors our growth, individuality, not only as an outcome but as a process shaped by perseverance and the quiet influence we have on each other. In this sense, the true treasure is not a destination or final outcome, but the ongoing act of becoming and growing. Works will vary from paintings, mixed media, multimedia, ceramics, drawings and more. Location: SWIM Gallery - 509 Ellis st. San Francisco California 94109
Opening reception - Saturday May 16 6-9 PM The exhibit will run until June 20.
Review: …”The fakeness of these works’ compositions and shapes contrasts with the extreme realness of their details. Many petals and leaves are shown with the exaggeratedly pointy tips that, in nature, derive from the tips’ early growth cessation. The distinct character of the edges of the leaves and petals, also a consequence of developmental patterns, is rendered clearly, especially in the painting. The leaves’ vein networks are pictured in a biologically correct way in nearly all cases (Untitled/Brown (2026) includes a Frankenstein exception). The seemingly infinite and messy ways in which leaves’ basic form can be interrupted, especially in death, are catalogued.”…
