"Slide" an Exhibit by Visiting Artist Mary McDonnell at George Hurst Building - Gallery of Art and Design
An opening reception will be held on January 30, 2020 at 5 p.m. Mary McDonnell’s expressive abstract paintings visualize her sensory experience of the natural world. McDonnell’s practice is at once meditative and active: her painstakingly layered washes of ink, paint, and turpentine suggest ambient noise or variegated light, while vigorous marks made with unconventional tools like bamboo, sticks, and rubber convey staccato notes and earthy physicality.
