ECHO, COLOR, PLAY
june 10 - september 2022
"In pouring over Sophie Tauber-Arp’s work this past summer, I found her spirit to be the most inspiring aspect about her. Her compositions display both a sense of immediate - intuitive - gestural - makings, and painstakingly planned out executions. This tension, improvisation // premeditation, perhaps, gives life to her work : her looseness balanced by considered care. A playful freedom that she took seriously. In starting these works on paper, while in response to these findings, I wanted to conjure Sophie’s high-minded spirit in my work as well. An inspired color palette provided the container of premeditation, and the layered marks were kept light and jaunty, like a hand dance. Waiting and careful looking created a measure of restraint so works didn’t become overworked, heavy, or muddy. The pochote paper provided a resting place: a soft textured expanse: that slows down looking, softening the eyes." - COLLEEN HERMAN
A collaborative exploration of Sophie Taeuber- Arp’s work led Colleen Herman and Mary MacGill to create a unique collection of jewelry
Crafted over an afternoon celebrating Sophie's modality, each piece is a nod to the movement and hues of Colleen and Sophie’s compositions.
The thread that connects the artists found at Mary MacGill is a reverence for the artistic process and their chosen materials.
