The group exhibition Water Ways brings together works that make direct reference to water in addition to those that refer symbolically to it. Here, artists picture swimmers, capture moonlit lakes, re-create a shimmering pool, map unknown watercourses, or depict mythic tales associated with oceans or rivers. These works are balanced by others that allude to or characterize water like bridges, boats, borders, depth, fluidity, motion, purification, reflection, source, and its alterable state. Unceasing movement, dreams, the unconscious, mirrored surfaces, among other aspects, play a role in these artists’ works. (210) 227-8400
