Joanna Strong: Constellations
01/28/2022 - 04/30/2022
Joanna Strong’s constellation of paintings illuminate and explore the potency of objects as artifacts and repositories for stories.

The array of circular paintings swirl around the magnetic force of a large, planet-like painting, floating in the middle of the gallery. The variance in scale shifts the viewers’ own perception of size - from enormous to small and back again.
