Johansson Projects says…

With its allusions to prayer wheels and mandalas, Johansson Projects' latest show, Radialvedic, offers up meditations in the round. Although the three artists here work with different materials — paper, glass, and mixed media — they share a fascination with lines that curve, bend, and spiral. Jill Gallenstein's pen-and-ink drawings resemble seedpods bursting; Kristina Lewis turns zippers, straws, and coffee stirrers into molecular creatures and voluptuous fronds; and Japanese-born Kana Tanaka, trained as a glassblower, sculpts pendulous raindrops that reflect orb-like universes. Visitors should leave the gallery with heads spinning from radiant energy, but at peace.
