Touchstones | Yevgeniya Baras, Hawkins Bolden, Christian Quin Newell, Laurence Pilon, Nickola Pottinger

Sargent’s Daughters is pleased to present Touchstones, featuring works by Yevgeniya Baras, Hawkins Bolden, Christian Quin Newell, Laurence Pilon, and Nickola Pottinger.  Representing a variety of backgrounds and nationalities, several of these artists have chosen or been forced to leave their countries of birth for new homes, while others have radically reexamined the internal and external landscapes they inhabit.  Through nuanced abstractions and unconventional media, all of them consider themes of migration, translation, wayfinding, and landscape in their work.  Like a smooth stone carried in a traveler’s pocket, the assembled artworks represent what these artists have held close throughout their migrations, helping them to chart new courses through unfamiliar territories.
