Main Gallery

Algorhythm assembles paintings and drawings by Joel Woodard. At first glance, the exhibition might read as a mid-career survey spanning a twenty-year practice but that framing feels too fixed. Woodard’s work is less a record of progress than an ongoing search: for graphic shapes, patterns, symbols, and gestural abstraction that refuse to settle. Like a program running new code, the work returns to familiar colors and structures, yet it delights in error. Patterns break. Lines misalign. Images form and dissolve. Each series introduces a new visual logic, never fully resolving.

Woodard has described several of these works as “embryos.” The term is not biological, nor representational, but temporal. These images exist in a state of becoming: adaptive and open to new symbols and layers of paint. They mirror systems that evolve through repetition, failure, and transformation.

Project Gallery

Salt Water Body explores the phenomenon of arborization—microscopic fern-like patterns formed by drying bodily fluids during ovulation—as a poetic entry point into questions of embodiment, femininity, and self-determination. Drawing on imagery of salt, water, and botanical growth, Nannery reflects on the hidden “oceanic” body and her estrangement from this process through long-term birth control use. Grounded in hydrofeminism and ecological interconnectedness, the exhibition meditates on the circulating waters that bind bodies to rivers, seas, clouds, and rain, affirming a personal and planetary sense of belonging.
