Dawning @ Peep Space, Solstice @ Flux Factory and De Umbris et Figura

My solo exhibition Dawning ran from May 20-June 19 at Peep Space. The artwork continued my use of light, shadow and reflection as a medium and my thematic explorations of our attempts to understand the unknowable.

The centerpieces of the exhibition were 3 large “arches” called Passagers. The Passagers were designed to interact with the space to guide visitors to intimate, meditative moments with smaller pieces.

Made of polished aluminum, the Passagers were also designed to expand, contract and transform the space with shadows and reflections.

One of the promotional images for Dawning was created with a text-to-image platform called Midjourney. Between March 11 to around June 13 of this year, I created thousands of images using this platform. I collected about 100 of them into a text called De Umbris et Figura.

I also participated in a group show called Solstice curated by Jonathan Sims at Flux Factory on Governor’s Island. My two contributions continued the conversations in Dawning with an emphasis on human scale in comparison to sublime and grandiose natural phenomena.
