Municipal Bonds presents the gallery's first exhibition with Afton Love. Featuring a new body of work by the New Mexico-based artist, "Afton Love: White Window" explores the visible world with its tethers to human consciousness. In doing so, she looks to the existential, the unseen, and the limitlessness of space. Using a range of media—graphite, mica, wild clay, goatskin vellum, porcelain—Love creates delicately rendered, materially distilled, and geometrically abstracted, monochrome environments. 

Each work appears as an open portal between the "inner" and "outer." Through perspectives of place and material, Love investigates erosion and preservation in relationship to time. She elevates surface as her principal matter—delving into vast planes, into substance. Nearing translucent, she employs light in context to both the luminous and its shadow. By cultivating repetition within series, Love examines the angles of presence and absence, and expands the significance of subtle details. Her work exalts the form and the formless, resulting in a dimensional voice grounded by the transcendental.
