Johannah Silva :: Swimming to Eternity

OPENING RECEPTION!

On Friday February 6th, 2009, the Whistler Storefront Gallery proudly reveals a new installation by Johannah Silva, Swimming To Eternity. The piece is a series of studies, iterations of basic forms, boxes and circles dancing to the quietest music. Silva describes the piece as “micro as well as macro forms — cells and atoms, as well as planetary bodies. My working process involves the repetition and placement of these shapes and marks on the painting surface, in consideration with formal elements such as color and space, to arrive at surprising and discovered compositions that follow an internal logic.” And it is beautiful.

Swimming to Eternity will display through the end of March 2009. For more of Johannah’s work, visit her site.
