Studio 2 : Liminal Reflections of the Core

Abstraction, as quoted by Kirk Varnedoe, is “both as a legitimate reflection of the way we think individually and as a valuable aspect of liberal society”. The “core” is a space between the inner and outer self where perception, memory, and emotion blur into one another. Moving through abstraction, gesture, and erasure, the artists in this studio reveal what lies beneath surface and structure, transforming inner reflection into visual revelation. The eye becomes both observer and vessel, dissolving boundaries between being and becoming, between presence and absence.
