June 1, 2024—May 9, 2024 | Reception Saturday, June 1st, 4-6PM

James Harris Gallery is pleased to present our tenth exhibition with artist Claire Cowie. Her first at our new gallery in Dallas. Paper has been the artist’s primary material. Like much of Cowie’s past work, the six pieces in the exhibition use multiple perspectives and multiple points of view. Titled “Blind Spot”, the artist questions ideas of what we see, what we ignore, and what we think we perceive. Her deliberate conflation of positive and negative space and intense patterning creates circuitous paths that lead the viewer through Cowie’s personal visual archive which entangles public observation and private introspection. Along with direct application of pigment, she has repurposed her previous watercolors and prints along with pieces of fabric that embellish and enhance her work, a cacophony of referential imagery as well as abstract forms.
