True Maps

April 5th-June 7th, 2019
Opening Reception: April 5th, 5-7pm
Solo exhibit of works by Thérèse Murdza

A writer turned visual artist, Thérèse Murdza began drawing big words on giant rolls of paper in 1998. Using an animated range of circles, lines, and colors, she continued her work onto stretched canvas, eventually building her signature bright, richly textured paintings. Her previous training remains an influence: “In college, I studied theater performance, learning new forms of materializing sounds in transitory space. I acted, directed, and wrote poetry and plays. After graduation I distilled my writing further, in search of the precise moments of emotion and of contact. Not narrating the beginnings and ends, but middles; the being in the middle of things. Years spent living up and down the east coast had me literally taking the words apart. Disintegrating the shapes of the words into lines, circles, squares and color. Seeing music, hearing words, somehow marking sound in charcoal, ink, pencil, and then: paint.”

True Maps.
​Density. Light. A painting propped. Okay then. Where are we going again?
 
Radical homing. Homecoming. Home going. The welcoming bell. Green and a particular blue. That muddy bucket of gold. Pink. Orange. Pencil. Pencil. Give me your grin. Again. Again. Travel here. Travel all the way here. Okay. Okay now. Good. Look. Hold please.
 
Her hands making marks in the middle of a sentence.
 
As i was saying, i want you to stay. Stay sure. Stay true. Time flies. Times fifty over fifty. We came all this way. All this way. We came all this way to stay. So go on. Play. We came all this way. Drop your bags. Let me hear you. Let me hear you. Hold fast. Let me hear you laugh. Again. Again. You are already home. Let the paint remind you. Let the paint remind you. Let the paint remind you. Again. Again. Again.
