“String Thoery”
Drawings by Jenny Judge in “String Thoery”
Curator Sarah Dobbs writes: String Theory brings together the evocative works of Jenny Judge and Eric Goldstein, two artists whose practices, while distinct in medium and origin, intersect in their exploration of interconnectedness, transition, and the invisible forces that shape our perception of reality.
Judge’s drawings are grounded in landscape yet speak to a deeper emotional geography. Her work is rooted in a sense of place and the duality of living between Canada and New Zealand. Through fluid horizon lines and shifting boundary spaces, she captures the intimate tensions of belonging and displacement. These “meeting points”, where ocean meets sky, sand meets sea, become metaphors for personal and cultural thresholds, always in motion, always negotiating.
In dialogue with Judge’s terrain of emotional and geographic in-betweenness, Goldstein’s mixed-media work approaches the universe from a different scale. Drawing inspiration from the scientific framework of quantum physics and string theory, Goldstein visualizes the mysterious vibrational threads that connect all matter. His pieces render the abstract beauty of subatomic interaction in tactile, poetic form - inviting viewers to consider the emotional resonance of what is usually confined to theory.
Together, Judge and Goldstein’s works suggest that both the cosmos and the human heart are shaped by unseen energies; by strings of memory, matter, and meaning.
Exhibition runs to September 22nd
