Miranda Holmes

Now Sounds

​

Exhibition from June 07th - June 30th, 2024

​

​

Miranda Holmes embraces expansive notions of identity and intimacy in her paintings, drawings, and installations. Her work speculates on how we shape one another and the places we inhabit through spaces of overlap. Using transparent films of paint, Holmes layers shapes of everyday objects within figures, entangling them with the cups they hold, the drawers they open, and the shoulders they lean on. 

Now Sounds features work created by the artist since January this year, marking the beginning of her time in Berlin under a DAAD Fellowship in the Arts. Each work attends to thresholds of interaction that mark a relationship in flux. Holmes paints the edges between subject matter as active and buzzing. Subjects and objects slip and seep into one another, destabilizing the Self/Other binary for a fluid vision of experience. The show underlines painting as a site for textures of intimacy to spark, wrestle, grow, or diminish within a single moment.
