Tomorrow's Yesterday Home - Recent Paintings by Micaela Gardner

Tomorrow's Yesterday Home is an exhibition of ten never before seen paintings by Santa Fe-based artist Micaela Garder. Painted on large Alder panels, the works are cohesive and consistent. Gardner lets her painting unfold as she creates them, preferring to be led by intuition and exploration. Her recent exploration has led her to find a fictional future world. 

Ancient dwelling sites and ruins have captivated Gardner; she identifies with the spirit of these abandoned ancestral sites and uses her painting process to re-imagine a future of re-habitation. The loose narrative in ten oil painted panels is one of environmental apocalypse, survival, and humanity. The imagery in this series of painting is obscured by large sweeping brush strokes and fields of color, revealing just enough information to hint at a storyline.
