Announcing a solo exhibition of works by Serena Perrone at Flatbed Press, Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Austin, Texas.
From Flatbed:
Field Notes on Augury: ISTI MIRANT STELLA: Flatbed is pleased to present a selection of works by Serena Perrone spanning printmaking, ceramics, glass, photography, and text. Often taking cues from literature and art history, her varied bodies of work are unified by the use of color and recurring symbols, relying heavily on process, workmanship, and decoration. The works in this exhibition record instances of both wonder and trepidation when confronting the landscape and natural phenomena. Isti Mirant Stella ("they marvel at the star") is a nod to the auspicious appearance of Halley's Comet as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry of 1066, as Perrone proposes the possibility of reading the past and gleaning clues to the future through close attention to the terrestrial and celestial realms.
