MARY EARLY Sculpture
Mary Early's process is to initially determine a shape or component with which to construct an artwork, and then to make numerous copies of that component. Each component is fabricated from laminated strips of wood bound by cheesecloth, covered in natural beeswax and polished. These seemingly generic shapes are balanced against one another, interlocked to create a whole sculptural installation. The exhibition at Hemphill is comprised of two large installation pieces complemented by a small-scale work.

EMMA TAPLEY
New Paintings
In the new paintings on view at Hemphill, Emma Tapley reinvents landscape painting with an abstractionist's perception of nature. Tapley achieves this by implementing a combination of techniques: altering the scale, vantage point, and angle of her subject matter; removing an object from its natural context; or magnifying its infinite details. These new works depict views of the natural world filtered through a window, reflected on water, or floated in space. Tapley paints in a style of realism that challenges her abstract compositions.
