"Mater Luna," Emily Weiner

The paintings Emily Weiner made for Never Odd or Even at Red Arrow in February worked Jungian analysis into something completely fresh. Theater curtains, spirals, facial profiles and planets all take on new dimensions when viewed through Weiner’s fastidious, beauty-forward lens. Not to mention the custom frames she often makes from sculptural bits of terracotta or stoneware, which act like grounding signifiers and underscore the way frames often stand in for artworks themselves. If you need further examples of how Weiner is able to turn details into poetry, consider that the exhibition title itself is a palindrome.
