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.
