“In this group exhibition entitled 'Perspective Points', the artists invite us to see beauty in both the building and deconstructing. They remind us that construction and creativity are deeply linked-and that labor, far from being separate from art, is often where art begins. In this work, the passage of time occurs through both the collective action of tedious, meditative tasks and material decay.

Whether it's a pencil, a needle, a camera, or a brush, tools become extensions of the body, drawing a line between physical effort and creative expression. By showcasing common industrial or domestic materials, the artists sew poetic potential into the everyday. They shape materials— and in doing so, shape meaning.

Each work endures time-creating intricacy through repetition and care. Processing is displayed through patience and persistence where the slow build becomes the rhythm and the joy found in that processing. Through the compulsive repetition of mark-making, stitching, layering, and arranging, each work becomes a record of time spent-hours, days, weeks distilled into surface and form. Like a bird gathering one twig at a time to build a nest, these works demonstrate that through sustained, deliberate efforts, a little becomes a lot. And in the layers, we find space to excavate, reflect, to feel, and to look again.”Nat Saia
