Everyone has a unique relationship between their interior and exterior selves. These paintings are about that connection, weaving through, for example the weight of memory/regret and the weight of gravity. The scars of moving through time show up as layered gestures, built up and scraped away. Hints of movement flicker in and out, while the balance of object and void shift. The paintings never settle on one thing, yet they are decisive in their physicality, surface, and evidence of hand.

"Night Vision is the ability to see in low light or after one's eyes have adjusted, and it is from this sentiment that we gather artwork together in the Warner Gallery. So much of an artist's work involves learning to see the world, break it down, and view its subtleties. Once a maker has acclimated to a state of constant unknowing, they create from what they can see. This show will explore night scenes, low light, shade, or "being in the dark," figuratively and literally. We want to celebrate the curiosity it takes to create something without a clear guiding light and the beauty that can come from recording a perspective despite being unable to see the entirety of one's surroundings from a single point of view."
