Vox clamantis in deserto
Delving into distance
Joint show entitled “Unsettled,’’ by Emily Hass and John Winship, at\the Corey Daniels Gallery, Wells, Maine, through July 18.
The gallery explains:
“Hass uses found objects as an anchor for her shapeshifting geometric forms. They live on old paper, tide-washed wood, tin cans, and sailcloth. Hass’ deep interest in displacement is a throughline in this grouping of new and familiar work, including selections from her ‘Exiles’ and ‘Water Shapes’ series.
“The subjects of Winship’s paintings are derived from found snapshots. He renders enigmatic figures in thick atmospheres of acrylic paint, leaving a borrowed sense of nostalgia and a slight uneasiness.
“Leaning into the unsettled nature of our current world and the infinite transience of time, Hass and Winship bring us an opportunity for closer examination of both psychological and physical distance.’’
