Mercurial Tension
“Mercurial Tension” features work by Philadelphia artists Wendy Liss and Elizabeth Pratt. Liss’s ceramic sculptures, shaped by intuitive gestures and the unpredictable outcomes of pit-firing, embody a dynamic play of textures and colors. Pratt’s canvases explore themes of anxiety and healing through symbolic knots that evolve from sources of fear into symbols of unity and resilience. Together, their works weave a narrative that invites viewers to contemplate the expressive potential of art in transforming emotions and perceptions, offering a harmonious exploration of artistic process and chance encounters.
