Edification by Brent Fogt

Brent Fogt will present a series of large-scale, highly detailed drawings of abstract forms that vary from the topographic to the decorative, referring to, among other things, aerial photography, maps, turbulent water, live oak trees, coral reefs, ant farms, and paisleys. The exhibition will include a number of works suspended from the gallery ceiling, including a 16-foot drawing based on an aerial view of the Mississippi River and 60 crocheted sculptures that reference hives and nests. He will also debut a series of drawings inspired by the natural patterns he observed while teaching in Mexico, and by Chinese scroll painting.
