ECHOLOCATION

Co-curated by Cynthia Winings and Josephine Burr, Echolocation brings together the work of five artists—Dana Clancy, Grace DeGennaro, Crystalle Lacouture, Isabel Riley, and Josephine Burr—who each engage in sustained, contemplative practices that reveal patterns both sacred and mundane. The exhibition draws its name from the biological phenomenon of echolocation: the way animals use sound to navigate the world. Here, it becomes a metaphor for how these artists use material, rhythm, and repetition to orient themselves within—and reflect upon—the larger forces that shape our lives.

Whether through geometry, gesture, or the layering of imagery and form, each artist reveals an underlying structure or resonance—a kind of signal—that connects the personal with the cosmic. From Clancy’s intimate painted collages to DeGennaro’s luminous sacred geometries; from Lacouture’s radiant drawings and protective bead installations to Riley’s enigmatic sculptural forms, and Burr’s tenderly hand-built ceramic objects, the exhibition becomes a chorus of transmissions—works that are both receivers and senders of quiet, searching inquiries.

As curators, we were drawn to the way each artist’s work acts as both signal and receiver—sending out inquiries, offering transmissions, inviting reflection. It has been tremendously inspiring to build this exhibition together. For Josephine, who is also a participating artist, curating this show is a natural extension of her own deep engagement with material and process. For Cynthia, it is a privilege to introduce several new artists to the gallery, and to bring their voices into this creative community. Visit the gallery website here.
