Brief Infinity is an exhibition of paintings by Danielle Hogan. The exhibition explores the delicate paradox of life’s fleeting moments and their boundless emotional weight.
Spanning over three years of weekly miniature paintings, half of the exhibition unfolds as an intimate diary of visual poems— each small work a quiet vessel of observation, joy and reflection.
These accumulations of the everyday are counterbalanced in the second half of the exhibition by larger-scale watercolours created during a period of profound loss and mourning, where the intimacy of the miniature expands into monumental expressions of beauty and grief.
Together, Brief Infinity forms a constellation of lived experience, examining how even the briefest occurrences can hold infinite imprints of a life.
Opening reception: Sept. 25, 5 - 7 p.m.
SilverFish Photography Collective is a group of 12 photographers who have annually exhibited thought-provoking concepts and ideas using the medium of photography and various image-making processes for 25 years.
Equivalents is a direct creative response to a concept coined by photographer, Alfred Stieglitz between 1923 and 1934. Stieglitz’s series of cloud photographs invited the viewer to go beyond the literal meaning of what is being seen and rather interpret the photograph as a metaphor or symbol; taking into consideration not only what the image depicts visually, but on a philosophical level, what emotion the image evokes.
In true SilverFish style, Equivalents will be characterized by a unique diversity, as each member explores this theme through their own expression and style of photography as well as experimenting with different methods of image making.
In addition, there will be a short video, accessible by a QR code, that will include the artist’s interpretation of their images. In turn, the viewer will be encouraged to add their reaction to each body of work.
These responses will be anonymously recorded and will create an ongoing public dialogue that will highlight the varying impact and emotional effect that art has on each one of us.
