Bending Perception: The Fluid Line

Featuring works by Tracie Cheng, Jeremy Holmes, Niina Kratz, Jenna Krypell, Carrie McGee & Nuge

Bending Perception: The Fluid Line invites viewers into a visual landscape defined by movement, grace, and organic geometry. Bringing together a collection of paintings and dimensional wall sculptures, this exhibition challenges the rigid constraints of traditional structure. By replacing harsh, linear boundaries with soft contours, the artwork alters how we perceive physical space and boundaries.

At the heart of the exhibition is a deep exploration of the sinuous curve. The pieces on display capture the essence of a line in constant transition—bending, looping, and stretching across both two-dimensional canvases and three-dimensional relief forms. The artworks do not sit static on the wall; instead, they appear to breathe, ripple, and flow, mimicking the quiet kinetic energy of a living environment.

These fluid lines find their deepest resonance in the forms of the natural world. Echoing the gentle swell of ocean waves, the biomorphic silhouettes of foliage, and the weathered contours of wind-carved stone, the collection reminds us that nature rarely moves in a straight line. Bending Perception bridges the gap between abstract art and organic reality, offering a serene space where the built environment and natural rhythm seamlessly collide.
