Margaux Williamson’s Interiors, guest curated by Jessica Bradley, presents a 17-year overview of paintings, writings, drawings, and ephemera. With a main focus on interiors, a dominant theme in Williamson’s work, these spaces are comfortably familiar yet strangely disorientating, and as curator Jessica Bradley states, “for Williamson the brush stroke, the act of putting paint on canvas, anticipates both figuration and abstraction: the depiction of real objects situated in the fluid pictorial space and time unique to her work.”
