About the Presentation
Cristin Tierney Gallery and Abattoir Gallery will co-present works from the 1990s onward by Lithuanian-born US artist Audra Skuodas, who produced thousands of paintings, drawings, and artist’s books over five decades based in Oberlin, Ohio, until her death in 2019. Skuodas’s work is at once personal and universal, seeking to “reveal moments when invisible phenomena make themselves visible,” according to the artist. Deeply informed by philosophical and spiritual considerations, she was concerned with the role of humanity in the universe and with the Japanese Zen Buddhist idea of satori: the special moment of awareness in which the infinite and the finite become one.
