Dan Perkins and Zuriel Waters: Dawn Chorus pairs Perkins's ethereal architectural paintings with Waters's fabric works sewn without wooden support and mounted with dress pins. Perkins explores thresholds, windows, and planes of passage within a haze where color and light take precedence over fixed scale or space. Waters constructs each piece through an iterative process rooted in seasonality and daily neighborhood walks, the works engineered to fold and store in a box holding roughly a year's worth of making. The title — the burst of birdsong at daybreak — frames both practices as driven by quiet inner compulsion: a painter returning to the studio as a bird returns to song.
