Gathering Together

Judith Kindler peers into the individual and collective psyche in this new body of work entitled “Gathering Together”. In mixed media paintings, sculpture and installation she explores human nature in the act of gathering together, through a series of mostly narrative imagery that combines faceless figures, birds, threads, chairs and emotional dreamlike scenes.

Do the chairs represent what is comfortable for us? Are the threads an illusion to the common connectivity and the idea of human destiny? Are the birds symbolic of what we garner? Are the faceless figures an attempt to distinguish the universality of human nature; possibly disregarding the individual experience? These are some of the questions Kindler raises in an exhibition that also “gathers together” so many different medias in quiet contemplative, intellectually charged, symbolic, and playful works.
