EMERGENCE
New Works by Kathleen George & Andy Matlow

April 10 – May 10, 2026

Opening Reception: Saturday, April 11, 3–5 pm

Emergence features a selection of new paintings by Kathleen George and ceramic vessels and sculpture by Andy Matlow. For both artists, the work is grounded in the transformation of natural materials, and creation of the inventive forms that emerge.

George’s series of acrylic and copper leaf paintings, based on her observations of corroding surfaces, are intricate abstractions, wonderfully suggestive and wide open to the viewer’s imagination. For Matlow, the act of creating has “a cyclical rhythm deeply rooted in the process of working with clay.” As the process unfolds his themes develop, exploration of form deepens, and new work emerges.
