My work strives to find connections between sound and the visual art through painting and other media. I have mostly been striving to explore painting towards this end.

Maggie Hubbard (b. 1991, NW Suburbs of Chicago, IL) utilizes painting as a way of questioning and knowing. Starting from personal narrative, Hubbard depicts people, objects and spaces that are charged with political and social connections. These illustrative renderings aim to capture the psychological residue of whiteness in middle-class America.

Larsen Husby

Contact

Larsen Husby (b. 1990, Boston) is an interdisciplinary artist working in drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance. His practice is deeply rooted in the theme of place: how it is represented, interpreted, and experienced. Much of his work is in direct response to his location — from 2016 to 2018, he undertook "Long Trace of Minneapolis," a project in which he walked every street within the city of Minneapolis (a total of 1,315 miles) as form of performative drawing and extended meditation on the city.
