The exhibition is a foray into her examination of her own artistic practice. Collages made over the past three years serve as source material for her current paintings. By revisiting these earlier works, Geary questions the gestural components of painting, incorporating in her process the slow and methodical building up and breaking down of forms, resulting in the replication of her physical performance. Also on exhibit are two-panel works comprised of said collages paired with her actual color pallets. While the pallets/collages serve as studies for her larger works on canvas, they go beyond being simply repositories for the paint medium, capturing the activity of Geary’s paintbrush as she oscillates between her options. In translating the works on paper from small scale to large and from paper, gouache and acrylic to oil on canvas, the repetition of the image becomes an opportunity for a fresh interpretation. Catalogue available.
