The works in this exhibit consider the structure of possibility and curiosity. Central to our teaching and artistic practices, these concepts guide us to explore and question both the known and unknown through visual and visceral means. Stories emerge through a generative process of making and unmaking while acknowledging that a work may never have an end.

Is it likely…

What would that something be? Is it a personal truth or hypothesis? Is this the right solution, or our best answer right now? For a moment, that something is captured and made material. For a moment, we hold a declaration or a discovery. Weaving together diverse experiments with substance and matter is an understanding of the impact of engaging in a process of making. We resolve that this color adds depth, and these marks sustain affect. This shape has evolved after uncertainty. Whether as an act of inquiry or revelation, as self-expression or communication, the creative force is momentous. Our varied endeavors imagine and envision what would that something be, distill that something and eventually pause as a living document.
