Moody Gallery is pleased to announce a new exhibition of paintings by Gael Stack entitled Thistle.

An artist whose work evokes both memory and the "gaps, sinkholes, and other chasms" found in our experiences, Stack is one of the most accomplished American painters working today. Her large canvases and smaller drawings use fragments of words and images, often layered over one another like a palimpsest, to create a visual language that explores the past's implacable hold on the present, with what is unknown and unspoken occasionally poking through. Serendipitous elements of graciousness and optimism also distinguish her recent work.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through November 25.
