INTERVIEW: Consciousness & Experimentation: Talking with Jackie Tileston

July 16, 2024 - Colette Copeland for Glasstire.com

I’ve followed Jackie Tileston’s work since the early 2000s when we co-taught in the newly developed interdisciplinary Visual Studies program at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Her abstract paintings have a distinctive style — one that I would recognize anywhere. Her career trajectory reflects her global upbringing. She received the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2006, a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant in 2011, and has been awarded the prestigious residencies of the Dora Maar House in France, the Rockefeller Foundation in Bellagio, Italy, and Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, New York, among many others. She has exhibited with Holly Johnson Gallery in Dallas since 2005; I wrote about her 2012 exhibition there, Free Fall. We had the opportunity to catch up recently on the occasion of her current show in Dallas. We spent the day looking and talking about art, yoga, mindfulness, psychedelics, and expanding consciousness....

REVIEW: Margo Sawyer at Holly Johnson Gallery

May 27, 2024 - J. Claiborne Bowdon for ModernDallas Magazine

Margo Sawyer’s latest exhibition at Holly Johnson Gallery, titled “Synchronicity,” is the latest segment of a series of work titled “Synchronicity of Color” that the artist has produced over the last twenty-five years. The underlying inspiration for this body of work is a continuing exploration of the psychiatrist Carl Jung’s concept of coincidence- specifically, the unexpected encounter of unrelated elements that is, nonetheless, meaningful. The unseen, unknown- potentially even unknowable-underlying forces that produce these events fascinated Jung, as they do Sawyer...
