What

Archway Gallery presents Spaces, a dialog in paint, fiber, and clay by Silvia PintoSouza and Laura Viada, on view from October 7 – November 2, 2023. Meet the artists at an opening reception on Saturday, October 7, from 5 – 8 p.m. with an Artist Talk at 6:30 p.m.

In this exhibition, painter Silvia PintoSouza and weaver Laura Viada, engage in a visual dialog about creating space for beauty in a turbulent, violent, and painful world. Their dialog is enhanced with observations in haiku by poet Jon Halliburton, who will read from his work at the opening reception.

PintoSouza and Viada share a love of geometric form and its underlying grid as a means of expression. In sacred geometry, the simple intersection of straight lines at right angles symbolizes the link between the spiritual and the material. Though not a form itself, when multiplied this intersection forms the grid, the foundation for the square, the triangle, the circle, and all geometric forms which, in turn, carry their own symbolic meaning.
