About this Show

​

"The theme of uncertainty in this exhibition is not so much found in the overt content of the individual art works, but uncertainty as it is experienced through the viewing process. In these works, there is a cognitive delay in the piecing together the whats and the wheres. As in, What am I looking at? Where is this situated? We may feel slightly discombobulated while observing, or have the need to adjust or reframe our initial assumptions. Additionally, these works draw us into an encapsulated world. The private and fluid space inhabited by the gestural characters in Susan Sharp’s paintings, and the micro incidents in Hanneke Goedkoop’s watercolors create expanses for the eye to wander and explore. Bob Gregson’s geometric abstractions play with vertical, diagonal and planar relationships challenging the viewer to piece together part to whole (and hole). (Where are they going?)"    —Emily Cheng, Curator
