Erin Curtis’ exhibition, Night and Day, includes recent large-scale paintings that are dense with color and pattern. Her layered, cut-canvas works contain disrupted surfaces and reflect an interest in geometric abstraction and its historical roots in weaving, architecture, nature, and ritual. The paintings in Night and Day are nearly overwhelmed by an unreadable chaos that is pulled back to the edge of order by familiar patterns and forms. The works are rooted in landscape and domestic iconography, often sourced from textiles, and influenced by Curtis’ experience as a new mother. Just as night and day can be experienced as opposites, a continuum, or as cycles that shift subtly over the days and months, Curtis explores different ways of experiencing pattern and repetition, separateness and connectedness in her work.
