ALice Denision: MetaFlor

On View: February 6 – 28, 2015
Reception: Friday, February 6, 6 – 8 pm

The title of the show, MetaFlor, is a play on the traditional and contemporary uses of meta as well as a play on metaphor. The vessel becomes a presence in the paintings in a symbolic sense. It suddenly goes from being a pitcher or urn to a representation of an object with other meanings or associations. The viewer is left wondering what it all means. Why this vessel? What are we to make of a room full of paintings based on this one object?
