‘Between calm and unease’

Work by Michael McGrath in his show “Soft Signals,’’ at the Morrison Gallery, Kent, Conn., through July 12

The gallery says that Mr. McGrath’s work “explores the tension between calm and unease in everyday life, drawing on natural phenomena, personal memory, and close observation of his surroundings. It lingers in moments when the familiar begins to shift, when something subtle feels off and harder to name. Recent work reflects on living simply while sensing underlying instability, where images hold both quiet wonder and a steady, low tension.’’
