SMAart Gallery & Studio is pleased to present the third
annual group exhibit curated by artist/curator Maggie
Malloy.
Curator's Statement: Making art is chancy; it doesn’t mix
well with predictability. Uncertainty and risk-taking for the
artist is the essential, inevitable companion to desire in
making art. ‘Making’; is a process that tells the artist what
they are thinking, hearing, and having it make sense. It is a
process of constantly going back & forth, doubting and
testing. Doubt is a form of intelligence. It becomes
feedback of the vision. What the artist knows about their
current work is contained in the last work. Fingerprints are
all over the work and trace the willingness to embrace the
obstacle of uncertainties. The chancy act of prolonged
engagement often becomes the artist’s statement.
