Heron Arts / Jun 5 - July 3, 2021

SUMMER is a 5-year retrospective by Bay Area artist Kristin Farr. The exhibition featured new works, a site-specific installation, and a collection of paintings.

Kristin Farr draws inspiration from her family legacy with Pennsylvania's ‘hex signs’ and other folk art. Superstitions associated with hex signs are said to bring good luck and protection to their surroundings. Kristin is inspired by synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon in which the distinctions between multiple senses are blurred, and multiple senses are involuntarily ignited simultaneously. The artist employs a multidisciplinary approach, as an embrace of the synesthetic experience with a primary focus on color’s ability to achieve this effect.
