The
Path Through is an exhibition in conjunction with a newly published book
of poetry and paintings by the artist and Ezra M. Pryor exploring the subject
of trauma.
Brown has spent
her life as a painter creating images as meditative spaces for the viewer
to confront, process, and explore the messy business of being human. Her
practice involves writing and research in support of making these complex,
layered works, believing that the more we bring personal connections to the
words and images on the wall or in books, the more we can use the meditative
spaces of art to untangle and heal personally, as well as contribute to our
communities.
Or, replace that paragraph altogether with the paragraph from the press release which describes the show.
The Path Through
Judith Brassard Brown’s new paintings are installed in dialogue with Ezra Pryor’s poetry. The installation, and the accompanying book (by this mother and son team), offers space to engage with untangling, processing, and healing trauma. Her paintings reference scenes from everyday life such as still lives, landscapes and portraits but they do not recreate a specific location, time, or event. Rather, color and materials are energetically layered to contrast what we see with what we sense below the surface, inviting the viewer to reflect on these memories as their own. These visually striking and evocative works provide a kind of companionship, a reminder that on the other side of the dark night of the soul is a warm dawn and a day full of possibilities as we stay the course.
Thanks. Fun times!
