The Way We Drown, artist Susan Greer Emmerson’s latest exhibition at the Brookline Arts Center, welcomes art enthusiasts to its opening reception on January 10th. In the show, Susan Greer’s work meditates on natural disasters, humanity’s culpability in their recent exacerbation, and their toll on our structural environment. Greer’s work deals with intricate construction and thoughtful deconstruction; her 3-dimensional paintings are carefully arranged tyvek, found objects, and mixed media, manipulated and distorted by destructive processes of sanding, heating, plastering, and cutting. Her work “exists in the space between image and object; between the picture and the palpable plane; delving into that surface between wall and the environment and expanding that surface between the panel and the viewer.” The Way We Drown will be on view until February 1st.
