Known, Imagined, Experienced

Mary Joy’s painting Gulf of Mexico Sunset is included in the show Known, Imagined, Experienced at The COMMA Fine Art Gallery from February 10 through March 15. This group show consists of works that evoke a sense of place. From The COMMA’s website:

Anthropologists define sense of place as: “the experiential and expressive ways places are known, imagined, yearned for, held, remembered, voiced, lived, contested and struggled over.” 

In art a sense of place speaks to physical rootedness, either of imagined scape or to the rendering of real space, the vanishing point found in perspectives both shared and solitary or a feeling of occupying space.

The COMMA is open Thursday through Saturday from 12:00 to 3:00 PM.
