Catharine Clark Gallery is pleased to present Belongings, a series of watercolor paintings by artist Michael Hall. Hall’s series debuted as part of the gallery’s curbside exhibitions, with an expanded presentation on view in the gallery’s Viewing Room through September 5, 2020. Hall writes that "the scale and immediacy of this series stems from making work as a new father. Working with watercolors allows me to paint in limited windows of time in spaces I share with my family. Through the series I paint personal objects that hold significance for me that I want to share with my son one day. It is important to me that they be painted to scale and carefully observed. I see this series not just as a sharing of what has been meaningful to me but as an opportunity to question and rediscover ideas embodied in these objects alongside my son, and to create a space for future conversations and continued development about them and how they have helped shape my life."
