Catalogue Note

“The paintings become gauzy mindscapes (not landscapes, mind you, but something much more vulnerable and cerebral), rendered with Flashe vinyl-based acrylic paint that stains and swirls on the canvas in color fields” (Maxwell Williams, ‘Mary Weatherford: L.A. Confidential’, Art in America, 19 May 2014, online).
