Fuzzy Wheel is a pop-up Group Exhibition celebrating the work of 10 artists who worked together for one year with their Canopy Mentor, Matt Phillips, as part of the 2024 Canopy Program.

Fuzzy wheel: a simple machine in forward motion becomes blurry, plush, and playful. From a distance, all logic falls apart and crisp legibility melts into loose impressions. The ten artists presented here share an interest in the indeterminacy of edges (physical, psychological, temporal). They think about the limits, mysteries, and possibilities of vision, and embrace a tension between utility and play. They have a common inclination to see the inherent strangeness of all form, embodied by the soft architecture of a fuzzy wheel.

Approaching these ideas through figuration and the staging of complex intimacies, Laura Chassaigne, Stephanie Eche, Maria Huang, and Amelie Mancini make work about maternal energies, the mind-bending intensity of domestic life, and the push/pull within every embrace.

Working through languages of abstraction and the metaphysical, Maha Eddé, Heather McPherson, and Emily Weiskopf index the spontaneity of the subconscious, trace the recesses of memory, and diagram perceptual glitches, forming fresh beauty.

Depicting landscapes both invented and observed, Luisa Montoya, Carrie Johnson, and Laura Von Rosk use encounters with nature as diving boards into imagination, unsettling divisions between inside and outside and mapping the unseen content that pulses behind every empirical observation.
