"From roots and eggs, to rivers and rays, these paintings call forth an abstracted natural world that reminds us of something primordial and strange."
—Jacks McNamara
The Poetics of Growth is New Mexico based artist, writer, and teacher Jacks McNamara's inquiry into the phenomena of change. Comprised of McNamara's signature ink-wash paintings on wood, this exhibition unveils a new iterative process of creation that uses abstract mark making and pattern language to explore the human relationship to seasons and natural cycles of growth.
