Debbie Pryor: Traces
December 4, 2025 - February 1, 2026
Opening launch December 4 at 6-8pm
Traces is an evolving exploration of mark-making, examining its relationship to landscape, materiality, and human connection.
Through textural and tactile gestures, the often tablet-like forms become non-linear traces of place, people, and memory. The work is abstract, layered, and expressive.
Rooted in memories of landscapes both near and distant, Traces explores the connections between locations, individuals, and moments in time. Each gesture becomes an experiment in temporality, materiality, and the threads that link past and present.
