Terms of Consumption — Danielle Fretwell

On view in Terms of Consumption will be a suite of paintings that reflect Fretwell’s broadening visual vocabulary. Gold and silver appear throughout the exhibition, as do marble and iridescent tablecloths. Working under artificial light, the artist has heightened her attention to the reflective surfaces of her objects in this body of work. A pronounced reflection of Fretwell’s studio light appears in a number of objects, whether the rind of a watermelon or the lip of a porcelain mug, underscoring the immaculate nature of the setting while recalling the conditions of the image’s making.
