Holly Addi, Mark Jackson, Taelor Fisher, and Kristin Abbott share a fascination with the transformative potential of their chosen materials. Addi coaxes organic forms from paint, building up layers to create depth and luminosity in her abstract compositions. Jackson pushes photography beyond its usual limits, using mixed media techniques to alter and enhance his initial images. Fisher turns the simple act of tossing flowers into a catalyst for creation, capturing fleeting moments in paint. Abbott harnesses the sun's rays to transform ordinary objects into ethereal cyanotype prints. These four artists demonstrate the alchemical possibilities of contemporary art practice, transmuting everyday materials and experiences into works of beauty and complexity. Their art invites viewers to reconsider familiar substances and processes, revealing hidden potential and unexpected poetry. Through their innovative approaches to materials, Addi, Jackson, Fisher and Abbott expand our understanding of what art can be and do in the contemporary work.
