Press release

City Gallery in New Haven presents Suspicions, an exhibition of handmade paper formations by Karen Wheeler, during the month of April. Wheeler’s work demonstrates the translucence, surprising strength and resiliency of her medium. Skin like abaca papers stretched over wire and reed forms are enhanced with a deft use of drawing that increases surface nuances. Other works simultaneously encase and reveal found mechanisms as Wheeler explores concepts of renewal.

There will be an opening reception for the show this Sat., Apr. 2, from 3—6 p.m.
