This exhibition features all new work by Carey Maxon in three series, Moonshadow, Cogitation and Plumbline. The artist's current work includes ink drawings on handmade paper, that ponder nature, energy and the weight of symbols. "The works hold space, like walls, but delicately. An off-kilter balance might give reprieve; an altered perspective; a lively stability-they aren't an invitation into a depicted space. They are more like the edge of a container which the viewer is already in," commented Maxon. 

Maxon's work is held in public collections including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Brooklyn Museum, The Spencer Museum of Art and the Williams College Museum of Art, among others, as well as in private collections. She has enjoyed solo shows in Los Angeles and New York City and featured in group exhibitions in Berlin, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco and Siena. 

Maxon was born and raised in Northern California before heading to study in New York City and working there for over a decade. She currently lives and works in Trequanda (Siena), Italy.
