inside&out, a solo exhibit of new work by Calais artist Hasso Ewing, will be on view at The Front gallery from 6 May through 29 May, 2022. The opening reception will be on Friday, 6 May, 4-7pm. Ewing explores concepts of inner and outer worlds and the relationship between self and other through the experiences seen in her plaster gauze figures.
The exhibit opens with a poolside installation of Ewing's strange, elongated swimmers, sitting, jumping, floating, hanging together or just being. Together, they reflect experiences of aloneness, joy, conversation, love and humor. Single and pairs of figures appear along the pool's edge just above the waterline, each illustrating some aspect of the artist's emotional world. This focus on personal engagement, both with the self and others, is a response to the past two years of separation and isolation.
The back of the gallery will reflect a watery inner world, bringing the viewer inside to find peace and to escape from that which lies just above the surface.
For most of her professional career Hasso Ewing worked as a commercial designer in graphic and landscape design. After moving to Vermont in 2013, Ewing took to her studio to discover what she had to offer the art world on a more personal level. She has been a member of the Front since 2015 and has shown locally at Kent Museum, Vermont Council for the Arts, the Garage gallery and Highland Center for the Arts, as well as local craft galleries. Ewing works primarily from her home studio in Calais, VT.
