Through the Looking Glass

Grace Biltz's art invites viewers to slow down and reconnect with the natural world by exploring the contrasts between micro and macro perspectives. Using drawing, painting, and printmaking mediums, she highlights often-overlooked details and perspectives found in nature and urban landscapes, while also delving into the conceptual significance of time, place, memory, and music. This collage of influences offers a deeper understanding of our surroundings.

In her exhibition, Through the Looking Glass, she explores a macroscopic lens of minute details found in urban and natural landscapes, yet are often overlooked in our modern, fast-paced world. Through large-scale renderings of natural organic and geometric forms, she creates immersive and intimate experiences that encourage mindfulness and contemplation, urging viewers to take a moment to be still, breathe, and be present. By magnifying these details, she aims to foster a greater appreciation for the beauties and intricacies of the world around us, as well as realize that our lives are made up of innumerable moments, and those in-between moments in life are crucial to what makes life truly beautiful, from the small blade of grass to the reflections in windows to the the relationships we nurture among ourselves and the environment around us.
