Allston Skirt Gallery is happy to announce the
October 6th opening of our exhibition "Meg Alexander: New Work," on view October 6-28, with a free, public opening reception on Friday, October 6th, from 5-8 pm. The exhibition, which is Alexander's second one-person exhibition at Allston Skirt, features meticulously constructed works by this Boston-based artist who uses ink on paper and also on gessoed, wooden panels to explore form in nature, nature in motion, and repetition of form. Her detailed monochrome renderings of forces of nature - including, in this exhibition, tornadoes, star magnolia blossoms, and ripples in a pond - are both beautiful and rigorously conceptual, as she zeroes in on the ambiguities inherent in producing a still image of an object or element that never rests. In Alexander's words: "How water moves, the visual patterns it makes, the way rain animates a surface, the violence of a storm, the stillness of a pond, the cycles of a tree, the whiteness of a blossom-these are the things
which have concerned me."
