Christine Heindl, Sherry Markovitz & James Sterling Pitt

Eli Ridgway Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition featuring the work of Christine Heindl, Sherry Markovitz, and James Sterling Pitt. An intimacy of materiality accompanies the artists' singular approaches to color, form, and composition to create a sense of both the familiar and unknown—a personal language or system of logic and the enigma of time, memory, and emotion in relation to structure.

With shared interests in folk art and craft—weaving and patterning in the case of Christine Heindl, beadwork for Sherry Markovitz, and the handmade for James Sterling Pitt—the contemporary practices represented here are imbued with unironic historic references that are not sentimental, but "offer a departure point for all of us to remember as we face the future," as Sherry Markovitz once said.
