"Sure is Quiet", Karen Green

Following a sold-out show last fall, Karen Green returns to Place with a new body of work entitled Sure is Quiet. Executed over the past year, the work concentrates on language, cracking its codes and its deceptive beauty.  Paintings on wood and small mixed media collages on vellum, overlaid with meticulously rendered text - graceful, undulating calligraphy, white-on-white cross-writing, and uniform battalions of endless words marching across a serene landscape - speak of the ability of language to reveal and deceive all at once.
