Megan Wolfkill - Back to Back
Back-to-Back is an exhibition of paintings that explores archives, disorientation, abstraction, the passage of time, and the body’s role in each of these concepts. Megan Wolfkill stains unprimed canvas surfaces with fluid pigment, which integrates the surface, the material, and the mark into one inseparable entity. The surfaces of the paintings hold softness, sensitivity, and a “lived-in” feeling that invite an intimate and quiet read of the nuanced abstract forms.
