Chozick Family Art Gallery is thrilled to present A VILLAGE, a solo exhibition by Andrea McGinty whose new body of work navigates the terrain of domestic life, survival, and humor through intricate collage, sculptural and photographic assemblage. This marks McGinty’s first solo presentation with the gallery.
‍
At the heart of A VILLAGE are large and small collage-paintings composed from seed catalogs. Each vibrant image of produce is meticulously cut from the page and arranged on the canvas, forming an organic spectrum of color, type, and texture. These fragments are then composed into sprawling, map-like scenes resembling aerial views of farmland or blueprints for a dream garden.
‍
The works balance order and overgrowth, featuring winding linework that suggest pathways or irrigation systems, made responsive to the shapes of lettuce heads, eggplants, tomatoes, and sunflowers. Varnish preserves the saturated color of the clippings, freezing seasonal ripeness into a single, suspended moment: out-of-season fruits and vegetables shown in peak bloom, all at once. These fantastical, indexical compositions imagine a year-round harvest—a fantasy of homegrown abundance in an era marked by instability and rupture.
‍
McGinty’s approach is both meditative and materially playful. In the quiet accumulation of materials and gestures, A VILLAGE reflects the domestic rituals that make meaning among long hours and wide expanses: arranging things in order to help them grow.
‍
Also included in the exhibition is a series of terracotta planter sculptures that deepens these themes. Each pot—stained with remnants of prior plantings—is filled with clear epoxy resin, forming the illusion of still water. Suspended in these artificial pools are uncanny pairings of natural and domestic objects: a fried egg, grapes, a pine seedling, even a cigarette butt. These surreal vessels suggest both nourishment and decay, safety and catastrophe. They evoke the cycle of seasons—the renewal of spring, the melancholy of summer’s end.
‍
Additional works include woven photographic prints made from iPhone snapshots printed on vinyl banners of oranges and a flock of crows against a blue sky, stitched at the edges giving the feel of basketry or quilting, that elevate daily moments into soft, chaotic meditations. In all of McGinty’s work, visible imperfections and hand-touched gestures point to the care and ritual, working against time to prepare for the eventual isolation of winter.
‍
Through cut paper, resin, fabric, and photography, A VILLAGE invites viewers to consider the overlapping labor of tending a home, a family, a garden, in season and out, with only one's small harvest to witness.
