Holly Johnson Gallery will present Liz Ward: "The Grove," an exhibition of new works on paper by the celebrated San Antonio-based artist.
"The Grove" is a group of works that began with transformative experiences in nature. Although Ward has travelled widely in Mexico throughout her life, she first swam in a cenote (underground pool) in the Yucatan in 2017. This literally immersive experience was the beginning of an obsession with cenotes. Sacred to the Maya, they were seen as portals to the underworld, and were often receptacles for sacrificial offerings.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through July 29.
