URI Exhibition

Hera Gallery is excited to highlight artists from the 2020 URI Senior Seminar Online Catalogue, which is available now through our website!

Siobhan Olsen: "Peeled Paint Close-up 1/Textured Close-up of Twine and Acrylic through Canvas

"My project series originally began as a series of canvases, much like one would paint on, that rested at a tabletop level and existed solely for the purpose of touching them and experiencing texture. My entire project revolves around texture, wanting the audience to experience the piece to the fullest potential as it is, an object on the same plane of existence as us. However, the spread of Coronavirus, leading to the quarantine, led to a change. Now it is a series of photographs, trying to evoke a curious nature. I wish to make people desire to touch what is being photographed. I want the texture to become a catalyst that makes people wish to touch beyond the photo itself."
