Reyes | Finn presents the work of Copenhagen-born, Chicago-based artist Marie Herwald Hermann in “And the Walls Became the World All Around,” on view until June 26, 2021.
Taking its title from a line in the children’s book classic Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, the show introduces a fresh endeavor through materials and colors to spark a conversation about Hermann’s domestic life. The result is a renewed understanding of the dichotomy between indoors and outdoors, and a complex dialogue between the various objects that make up our homes. Through venturing this exhibition, Hermann invites the viewer to step into her still life itself, encouraging a reassessment of the domestic and our connections to the passive moments of life.
