Sturgis: subjective views, objective truths explores the space where personal perception intersects with shared reality. Through layered abstraction, expressive color, and shifting forms, these works reflect how lived experience reshapes what we believe to be fixed or factual.

Each painting begins from an encounter with place, memory, or internal landscape and evolves through intuition rather than documentation. While the imagery resists literal representation, it remains grounded in something collectively recognizable: growth, pressure, endurance, connection. Trees become witnesses, figures dissolve into relationships, and structures strain beneath unseen weight. What is depicted is not what is seen, but what is understood.

The exhibition suggests that truth is not diminished by subjectivity; instead, it is revealed through it. By embracing distortion, emotion, and ambiguity, these works point toward deeper constants—presence, resilience, and the quiet systems that hold us upright. In this way, the subjective view becomes a means of arriving at objective truths.
