Combining ink, gouache, and watercolor on handmade cotton papers, Meera Thompson’s abstractions call attention to their materiality and reveal the artist’s process. Evoking the passage of time, her works invite us to look beyond their lush surfaces to embrace illusions, prompting us to see the movement of shimmering lights and enveloping shadows.

The show’s title BRIGHT IMPOSSIBILITY is from an Emily Dickinson poem.
