In "Silence," Shawn Camp and Sarah Hirneisen create artworks that explore the absence of sound where there was sound before. Both artists use their mediums to make quiet gestures and examine surface quality and texture, with a subtle use of color.
In Camp’s recent work, ambiguous spatial relationships arise from simple geometric imagery embedded into thickly applied oil paint. Slightly reminiscent of landscapes buried under a fresh blanket of snow, bleached out colors focus attention on the structure of the paintings - revealing his ongoing fascination with materiality and surface.
Hirneisen is exploring the idea of remnants and looks to transitions that happen in nature when triggered by environmental stressors. She uses the process of casting to freeze a moment in time and pause the process of deterioration. Mending the casts back together imbues the work with a visible handmade element.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until April 1.
