Scott Espeseth’s works are drawings, made with ivory black watercolor on paper. Watercolor pushes back on obsessive tendencies, requiring  compromises, and not lose the forest for the trees. The drawings are inspired by chance encounters with objects, spaces, or events that trigger  moments of clarity, where they suddenly appear to be intensely strange, or intensely beautiful.

March 7 • 4 p.m. • Theatre
