In Aragonite and conchiolin, Emma McIntyre presents new paintings that probe paint as substance and event. Named for the materials that form pearls, the works shift between microscopic matter and sweeping composition. Pools of pigment, rust, vermilion, and iron oxide react and transform, accelerating processes of change. Gestural marks, impressions, and layered images accumulate into charged surfaces where material instability becomes visible and immediate.
