Artist Reception: Saturday, May 4, 2024 3-5 pm
We are delighted to present the captivating exhibit by Perri Lynch Howard in The Flex, featuring her awe-inspiring "Frequencies" series. In her artist statement, Perri invites viewers to immerse themselves in the resonant forces that surround us, urging us to uncover the invisible language of place and reconnect with the natural world in the face of its increasing vulnerability.
Through her profound exploration of sound, Perri has evolved from a mere observer to an engaged listener, attuned to the ocean's tidal fugue, melting glaciers' mournful sighs, and the haunting echoes of the canyon coyote. Her artworks skillfully convey these auditory experiences, with grids and perspective lines hinting at an underlying cartography - not of physical space, but of sensory awareness.
Embarking from her studio in Twisp, Washington, Perri's remarkable work has reverberated globally through exhibitions and projects spanning across the Arctic Circle, Italy, Portugal, Canada, India, and the Amazon. Her art serves as a poignant medium through which she shares her profound connection to the natural world and the encapsulating power of sound.
In this exhibit, Perri Lynch Howard's "Frequencies" series invites you to embark on a transformative journey, exploring the intricate tapestry of our environment through the lens of sound. We encourage you to step into these resonant forces, embrace the invisible language of place, and rediscover the intimacy that binds us to the ever-changing landscapes and coastlines of our world.
Artist Statement:
Landscapes are not just vistas, they contain sonic forces I weave into
visual stories. Informed by a meticulous process of listening,
recording, and analysis, my paintings pulse with unheard tremors and
the defiant symphonies of vanishing ecosystems.
The “Frequencies” series invites you to step into these resonant
forces, to perceive the invisible language of place, and reestablish
intimacy with the natural world, at a time when our landscapes and
coastlines are more vulnerable than ever.
Awakening to the power of sound has transformed me from a passive
observer to an active listener. I paint the ocean's tidal fugue, melting
glaciers' mournful sighs, the coyote's canyon echo. Grids and
perspective lines imply an underlying cartography – a map not of
physical space but of sensory awareness.
From my studio in Twisp, Washington, this work reverberates globally
through exhibitions and projects completed in the Arctic Circle, Italy,
Portugal, Canada, India, and the Amazon.
