Pard Morrison At James Kelly Contemporary
Morrison continues his interest in geometric abstraction with this new body of work. Using his preferred materials of welded aluminum and baked-on enamel paint, he now is investigating pictorial illusion by emphasizing the three dimensional space of his objects. As in the past works, these new pieces are objects that are installed on the wall, [...]
Nancy Holt At The Santa Fe Art Institute
Nancy Holt: Sightlines, is an in-depth examination of Holt’s early projects from 1966 to 1980. Holt’s pioneering work falls at the intersection of art, architecture, and time-based media. The career of this important American artist took off in the late 1960s when she and other like-minded artists in the U.S. turned away from the emerging [...]
Yoon Cho At SCA
Fluid States captures the moments of continuously creating our re-invented persona in response to our surroundings and relationships with others. The exhibition explores the state of progress and transformation rather than the end result that is static and unchangeable. In the Blurring photo series, the faces describe the unsettled transitional state of losing one persona [...]
Jill Moser At James Kelly Contemporary
Moser’s mix of rigidly straight and rhythmically gestural strokes on a muted translucent ground represents a virtual tug and pull, a combination of restricted and free-flowing movement. A visual choreography of tension and release, Moser investigates mark making with a sense of restrained improvisation. Her choice of color combinations invigorates the brush strokes that hover [...]
Jamey Stillings At photo-eye Gallery

Originally trained as a jeweler, she did not start working with ceramics until she moved to the Taos Pueblo with her husband and was taught to make pottery in the traditional way by her mother-in-law. McHorse, a Navajo, isn’t originally [...]

Land of Enchantment: Southwest USA 1948
In reel one of this 1948 black and white documentary we see traditional Native American crafts in New Mexico, Navaho artists making pottery, and visit the home of artist Georgia O’Keefe. Native Americans also perform a ritual rain dance. Films like this were my introduction to places like the Southwest US when I was young.
