Sarah Shepard Gallery is pleased to announce Intersections, a group show bringing together vibrant, awe-inspiring works across drawing, painting, and sculpture. Intersections features recent works by female artists from the West Coast and the South, including Gina Borg, Windy Chien, Maysey Craddock, Rachel Kaye, and Susan McKinney. This summer show presents structured yet spontaneous forms—such as Craddock’s wild marshlands painted on hand-embroidered found paper and McKinney’s refined wood and ceramic hanging “tapestries”—that play upon the radiance of the season.

Transient memories and forms are captured and celebrated across these works. Pieces such as Craddock’s Cloud Forest and of soft and vernal fields hone in on the ephemerality of changing natural environments, emphasized by the use of repurposed brown paper bags. Her vivid, wandering landscapes are fluid and familiar. Kaye’s intimate drawings suggest a similar, though more introspective, parallel to the season of respite and unwinding. Study on color, Study on body, Study on memory #16, #49, and #93, selected from a larger series, are small in scale given Kaye’s dedication to working with colored pencils on colored paper, inviting viewers in to share in contemplation and celebration.

Works such as Borg’s Float, McKinney’s Optical tapestry, and Chien’s Diamond ring also invite reflection and inquiry by challenging our expectations through manipulation of color, shape, and texture. Borg’s softly geometric, colorful fields appear to undulate; McKinney’s hanging, woven ceramic sculptures seem to defy gravity; and Chien’s serpentine, knotted rings have Various artists, IntersVarious artists, Intersections.

Their dynamic forms encourage play and meditation. Entrancing, energetic, and estival, the sixteen works featured in Intersections celebrate a season of creation and exuberance.
