Jessica Silverman is pleased to present “Her Dark Materials,” a group exhibition featuring artists whose innovative approaches to their chosen media—clay, wood, oil, pastels—enchant the eye and tease the mind. Ann Agee, Rebecca Manson, Sarah Meyohas, GaHee Park, and Alison Elizabeth Taylor transform landscapes, portraits, and still lives into wonderlands with thought-provoking perspectives. Minutiae like petals and butterfly wings swell to monumental proportions while inventive compositions play with the distinctions between inside and outside. Augmenting our visceral understanding of the physical world, the works investigate sensuality and tactility. The exhibition runs September 11 – October 25.

The works in “Her Dark Materials” play with our expectations around matter and what matters. They create a debate about the relationships between the physical and the metaphysical.
