Reception: Saturday, October 11, 4–6pm
We are excited to present Route, a collection of work by Michon Weeks. Inspired by the walks the artist takes in her hometown of Northfield, Minnesota, she depicts the natural and built landscape as a space of constant transformation and fluctuation, a dynamic scene. With the ability to find the form as she works, her paintings hold a sense of wonder as the color-blocked planes are fitted together to assemble the scene. Shapes forming trees, gates, bridges, buildings, and other objects are situated within abstracted dreamscapes of ambiguous structures. With her thoughtful and painterly approach to markmaking, Weeks’ walks through her hometowns are mirrored on the linen canvases as her paintbrush wanders across the surface. Holding space for the seemingly ordinary, the works on view in Route venerate the beauty of the every day.
