Julie Hedrick's Alchemy runs at Nohra Haime Gallery (730 Fifth Ave., New York) November 18, 2014 to January 3, 2015. The exhibit constists of oils on canvas and works on paper. The artist uses these pieces as a meditation on alchemy and its relation to gold. Alchemy, of course, focused on the transmutation of base metals into gold. But there was more to it than that, as the ability to arrive at such a transmutation was seen as the gateway to understanding life itself.
Gold is central in this work and is often at the surface of these pieces.
Hedick has shown extensively in Canada, Columbia and the USA. In addition to painting and works on paper she has been acclaimed for performance, poetry reading, set design and discussion panels. She is originally from Toronto but now lives in Kingston, New York.
