Jen P. Harris: Thrum

opening reception Friday, May 1
6 - 9 pm

Jen P. Harris presents a series of “loom paintings,” a term to describe their unique hybrid paintings on panel and canvas which themselves become looms; structures for the weaving that sits on top of the painted surface.

Weaving intuitively across the painted field, Harris creates a sustained interrogation of binaries: painting and textile, surface and structure, visibility and concealment, ultimately proposing a more fluid and unstable field of meaning. Their hybrid “loom paintings” collapse distinctions between mediums, holding them in tension. In so doing, the work resists fixed interpretation, privileging ambiguity as both a visual and philosophical condition.
