This event has ended.

This is the New York-based artist’s third solo show at the gallery; it will open on Thursday, March 25th with a reception for the artist from 6 to 8 p.m., and run through Saturday, May 1st, 2010. A catalogue with an essay by Sue Spaid accompanies the exhibition.

For well over a decade, Maureen McQuillan has been investigating the infinite possibilities of line by exploiting the inherent nature of simple materials. The centerpiece of this exhibition is a series of photograms created by making marker drawings on multiple layers of transparent material, then exposing the photo paper beneath these stacks of abstract, linear imagery. Using low-tech means--a light bulb, photo paper and chemicals, with no additional materials or mechanical or digital manipulation--the artist achieves mysterious and beautiful effects that reference patterns found in nature as well as those revealed by high-tech means, such as micro- or telescopic imagery.
