Holding Space
Annie Quinlan &
J G Orudjev

May 31 – June 30, 2024
Opening Reception: Saturday, June 1, 5–8pm
Artists’ Talk: June 15, 3–4pm

“Holding Space” explores the creation of space through process, developing intimate work that elevates vulnerability and tenderness. Both artists involve meditation practice and action as parts of their process, and have found this a point of deep connection in their work.

Quinlan investigates spiritual connections, with mantras in her underpainting, implied memories, and transcendence. Orudjev’s work explores the nature of memory, transformative and transitory states, and the act and language of making meaning. 

Quinlan and Orudjev both work in mixed media.  Orudjev is a collage artist and painter with a background in sculpture.  Her work has been shown and published internationally.  She regularly seeks out collaboration with other artists, and places great value on cooperative experiences.

Quinlan’s work is driven by the creative process and is born from the silence of the inner world as an expression of the intangible depth of human experience. Her work is very much informed by her experience as an art therapist and yoga teacher.
