building on a cliff
Building on a Cliff, a group show featuring the work of Matt Connors, Arturo Herrera, and Merlin James, will run from December 10 – January 23 at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. While the majority of their work is drawing and painting, they also create pieces “that blur the definitions of specific art practices, creating hybrid works; painting-sculpture, photography-installation, painting-installation.”
