Featuring all new works (2025-2026) by artist Julie Green, her solo exhibition Where the Field Begins to Sing proposes that the imaginative landscape is not silent. It vibrates beneath structure. It hums within color. It waits in tension across string and surface. And in the moment of encounter — between artwork and viewer — the field begins to sing.
Green’s practice is situated within a lineage of abstraction that treats color not as description,
but as event. Her work extends conversations initiated by early modernist painters who
understood chromatic relationships as spiritual or musical phenomena, yet it moves decisively
into a contemporary register — one grounded in embodied perception, neural multiplicity, and
participatory experience.
Central to this exhibition is the phenomenon of chromesthesia, in which sound is experienced
as color. Rather than illustrating this condition, Green builds its spatial equivalent. Her
compositions imagine a cognitive field in which neural connections remain abundant and
unpruned — where associations proliferate and perception branches outward. The resulting
visual language explores Green’s personal experience with this cross sensorial perception.
The introduction of playable musical strings across select works shifts the exhibition from
metaphor to activation. Tensioned across constructed surfaces, these strings transform line into
literal vibration. When touched, the work responds. The viewer’s gesture produces sound,
collapsing the boundary between observer and participant. The field is no longer a visual
suggestion of resonance; it becomes a resonant body.
