Hancock Alameda is an exhibition of landscape paintings by Maria Calandra that are built from memory rather than observation—coastal paths, gardens, and mountain ranges across Maine, Northern California, and Brooklyn, internalized and reconfigured. Sky, water, and vegetation circulate across the surface without settling into separate zones. A horizon appears but fails to stabilize the space. What first reads as lush and immersive gradually reveals itself to resist orientation, as the eye moves continuously without finding ground. Calandra is less concerned with representation than with constructing perception itself.
