>> view juror statement and exhibition brochure
The elements of this show are concerned with noticing/seeing what is obvious - and what is often ignored or disregarded in the maintenance of the status quo programming of our lives. Is it really okay to do anything we want, just because we can? Are there rules here, natural laws that we could possibly be ignoring? These ideas are represented here through the use of video, drawings, and the inclusion of objects offered to provoke a clearer view of our collective experience.
The more recent drawings in this show appear to be (and certainly I am curious about their origin myself!) intuitive views of biological and molecular structures that have come to me almost unbidden, as well as emotional responses to personal and societal conditions surrounding us today.

History
Axis Gallery is an artist-run space. This cooperative has been together for over 15 years building a reputation for exhibiting challenging contemporary artwork. The artist members are equal partners and support the gallery through sales of artwork, contribution of labor and monthly dues, thus avoiding the usual constraints of a commercial gallery.
We are dedicated to the highest standards of excellence in our selection and presentation of works of art.
