Bodies of Time

December 20-22, 2025
OpeningThursday, December 20, 6-8 pm
ClosingSaturday, November 22, 3-5 pm
An artist’s body of work is a temporal thing: it’s proof that she was there in the studio, over hours and days and months, making. But beyond simply being selections from each such “body of time”, the works in this show are directly concerned with the interplay of time and body. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, video sculpture, and installation, the artists interrogate the physical body as made of or by time, or conversely, a period of time as a physical presence.
