Join Ahavani Mullen for an intimate walkthrough of the four works on view in the Dennos Museum’s Zimmerman sculpture court. Her solo exhibition Across Centuries and the Earth explores the ways in which subtle, ephemeral vibrations can be given form on a canvas, using energetically-charged paint to create fields of color, light, and texture. These works were created during her spring 2022 residency at Tusen Takk.
