The show is curated by Miami gallerist Carol Jazzar, taking from the Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz private collection. Situated inside the Margi Nothard-designed industrial warehouse space that is home to the Girls' Club Collection, Following the Line features 46 line-based pieces by 30 artists, mostly women, from nearly 15 countries, with a few strong local picks.
Graphite, ink, colored pencil, layered mylar, etching, and aquatint are the materials, essential and direct, which allow the artists to quickly commit a fleeting concept or feeling to paper, or get down a first sketch as part of a perhaps much longer process.
The idea of process -- artistic process as well as life processes -- serves as an elegant thematic undercurrent to the show, which touches on everything from coming of age and pregnancy to mourning and the human relationship to nature.
