the Where

The title of Karey Kessler’s show, “the Where” literally means “a physical place” but also evokes a place mysterious and beyond the known. Through overlaid map imagery and evocative text, Kessler creates poetic landscapes that invite multiple interpretations. Like a cartographer, she labels areas — not with real locations, but where the marks and colors evoke feelings, thoughts, and memories. This process of combining cartography with abstract marks and colors charts new territory and explores the interconnectedness of memory, time and place.
