Cover Story is an exhibition of new paintings by Tara Lewis and Teddy Benfield, both of whom expand still life by rethinking how objects carry meaning. Benfield uses houseplants, lawn chairs, and everyday detritus to blur distinctions between domestic and environmental space. Lewis transforms books into portraits, adorning them with satin bows that disrupt their graphic design and symbolic authority. Together, the works ask how perception and context shape the meaning we assign to ordinary things.
