Shadow Time: Claire Cowie, Fay Jones & Mary Ann Peters

May 14 - June 26, 2022
ARTIST TALK LINK︎︎︎

James Harris Gallery in coordination with studio e is pleased to present a group exhibition titled “Shadow Time.” This cross-generational show features the work of three women who use personal histories as the thematic ideas for their work. “Shadow Time” explores aspects of memory and how it remains buried in the unconscious until a catalyst brings it to the fore. The three artists have deep connections to the Northwest, and have all worked individually with admiration for one another’s work. They share some commonality, but mostly each artist’s oeuvre is distinct. This show is the first time multiple works by Claire Cowie, Fay Jones and Mary Ann Peters will be on view together at studio e gallery.
