Creativity is a process in constant flux: ideas return or are reiterated, forms morph in new and surprising ways, and processes can be cyclical. The works in this exhibition examine this state of constant change in a breadth of ways. Anthony Welch, Barbara Sullivan, and Dylan Ouellete repeat similar imagery and form, finding nuances and new angles with each iteration. Betsey Feeley, Rachel Sperry, Kathryn Shagas, Maya Stein, Molly Knobloch, Daniela Wenzel, and Catie Joyce-Bulay redact, cut up, reposition, and weave together their imagery, creating new content. Jeane Cohen, Lisa Mossel, and Abigale Avey look at ideas of revision by doubling up on images, giving the viewer room to revisit their own first impressions. Juliet Karelsen, Lifu Hu, Tectonic Industries, Tara Morin, and Phoebe Pope approach the theme of reconsideration with surprise and humor, inverting the viewer’s expectations. Alejandra Cuadra, Bo Dennis, Taryn Pizza, Marcy Chevali, and Caroline Routh take a more poetic approach and present work that invites viewers to reconsider and reflect upon their own experiences.

Together, these twenty three artists celebrate the notion that being wrong – reconsidering your position and responding with an open mind – can yield beautiful and thought-provoking results.
