EVE WOOD
ON ANY GIVEN DAY
May 13 - June 29, 2021
online exhibition
In the title drawing “On Any Given Day” – perched on a smattering of grass – a blackbird with the body of a human observes the world. Animals appear to put in the work of observing just as Eve Wood puts in the work of processing: hurling her gauntlets of both passion and pain. Wood’s art, like the righteous fist thrusting out of a mountain of colored bird shit in “Powering Through The Shit,” is emphatic, unapologetic and droll. This exhibition of recent drawings faces the plight of our human condition head-on, as the pendulum swings from guilt to joy or terror into love. These works bear arms as if to demonstrate their fragility, but also to clarify any lingering human misunderstanding.
