Melissa Huddleston: The Drops introduces paintings on paper built from single droplets of paint, layered one after another through precision, timing, and material chemistry. Concentric forms radiate in auric halos — circular, ovoid, eclipse-like — evoking the cellular and celestial simultaneously. Developed while the artist was pregnant, the work sits between California Light and Space and post-1970 feminist art, considering a fundamental question: how does one thing become two? A second gallery presents a mural-sized grid of marbled paintings where repetition and subtle variation suggest motion, deep water, and flickering light.
