The work in Debra Weisberg’s “Mermeros” (“causing anxiety; mischievous”) spans over 15 years and highlights the artist’s long inquiry with improvisational drawing as the foundation for sculpture in which the imagery emerges in collaboration and in resistance to materials. How does the unexpected translate into abstractionism which triggers memories of imagined scapes? She was very excited to use this opportunity to show some older works that have never been shown before and place them in conversation with newer work, including a larger re-configured version of (un)Sea(n) Scape, originally shown at The Museum Complex in Duxbury.
From an educational standpoint, Weisberg hopes this exhibition provided students with a fruitful and meaningful conversation on maintaining a long term studio practice and keeping an idea fresh over decades.
