'A remarkable thing about this show is that all the work seems destined to take turns as background or centerstage. For example, in the Dining Room and Wall of Windows area, Johnny Izatt-Lowry's 4 Pieces of asparagus, on a table, ii (2021) above Mayumi Sarai's wooden Basket of Oranges After Van Gogh (2025): their combined pieces stop me in my tracks with powerful simplicity, jolting me out of a mental world of tabletop variations. All around me, realism is morphing and flattening via Mariel Capanna's fresco What's Left (2017), Dee Jenkins's Dry Flat (2023), and Ken Kewley's Winter Bouquet Series (2018-19). Serenity––and the protected life of unconscious objects––continues to unravel with Gwen Strahle's Chosen Object (2022) and Allie Webb's Bread, Hand, Onion (2025) that both picture hands as objects. Webb's Escargot, Pepper, Knife (2025) menaces like Margaret Parish's second Windowsill Installation (2026) featuring a disembodied gloved hand, hair comb, epaulette, sunglasses, shoe trees, and jumbo kitchen knife.'
