Close Your Eyes and Think of There
Jaynie Crimmins and Maureen Krinsley
June – July, 2022
Brooklyn Heights, NY
From oil painting to collage to paper sculpture by Maureen Krinsley & Jaynie Crimmins, Close Your Eyes and Think of There explores the concept of perception and what it means to “see.” What we choose to see, either consciously or subconsciously, is arguably a choice based on experience, memory and innate senses, as well as our current mental and emotional condition that are unique to each individual.
“What realism comes down to is choice.”
-Robert Hughes
In Close Your Eyes and Think of There, “there” is wherever the eye–and the mind– chooses to go based upon these conditions. Each viewer thus holds infinite perceptions of the multitude of Krinsley’s and Crimmins’ abstract forms and vibrant colors in their works.
