Houshiary’s mesmeric abstract canvases depose our human perception of scope and scale, engaging the macro and microscopic; they connect a single breath to the breadth of the sea, carbon’s molecular structure to the structural integrity of a star. The intricate pencil markings imagine waves, auroras, and fields that undulate, spiral, expand, and contract across pigment-washed aluminum surfaces. Far from static, the nebulous aquamarine and azure forms appear amid metamorphosis; ongoing, they’re uncircumscribable, infinite, like the energetic systems they intend to invoke. This illusory effect is intensified by the inert low-lying sculpture: cerulean and teal bricks arranged in spirals that recall churning waters一if also oversized legos.
