It’s not a showy start to the next six years — new signs are in progress, and I’ve been too busy putting this together to stop to tell you about it — but I am very pleased to introduce a truly excellent selection of new works of art to you, which will be on view through September 15.

• 16 works of art, 15 of which I have not shown before.
• 13 artists, 4 of whom I have not shown before.
• 3 works from the 1970s, and one likely earlier.
• Large and small; from $1,200 to $23,000.

Selected works on view are in the slideshow below.

— Heraclitus, fragment DK B88

Spring is a time of birth and renewal, and a time to reflect on rhythms, rituals, motifs, and ideas which bind the past, the ancient, and the contemporary.

How can there be permanence, how can there be identity, in the ceaseless flux of time?

Trident Gallery is is pleased to present In the Time We Have, an exhibition of new and selected works of art reflecting themes of time, ephemerality, and maturity.

Among the works presented for the first time at Trident are an elegant steel sculpture by Ruth Mordecai, Between Drawing And Sculpture / Torso (1995); a pair of witty assemblages by Ken Riaf; and a powerful new mixed media work on paper by Susan Erony called Flight. Especially in the context of this exhibition, the butterfly wings embedded in Flight and the graceful arcs of the composition make this piece, for me, a poignant meditation on regeneration and renewal, beautiful and hopeful amidst the sadness of loss.

The wall texts for this exhibition are included in the slideshow below. They are sequences of short, lyrical phrases which capture elements of my current responses to these works of art. They are intended to be personal and provocative, inviting further reflection and response to the art from the reader — responses perhaps dissonant, or in counterpoint or harmony.
