Yes, we’re ready to go

“Another Country” (acrylic on can), by Bekka Teerlink, in the group show “New Members,’’ at Kingston Gallery, Boston, through Aug. 2

She says:

“I paint psychological landscapes built from pieces of the broken world around me. Recurring themes in my work included houses, gardens, and portals to other places and times. I grew up moving from place to place and never felt rooted in one place. From this experience, I developed an obsession with ‘home,’ especially of the homes I didn’t have. I daydreamed of places I wanted to live, drawing fantasy floorplans and illustrations. In my paintings, those imagined spaces began to merge with the real ones I’d experienced, creating a personal world that exists outside of any specific time or location.’’
