MIST AUGUST 14 - SEPTEMBER 06Helm Contemporary is pleased to present MIST, featuring works on paper by Nell Waters, Sue Carlson, Holly Miller, and Sylvia Schwartz. The exhibition brings together four artists exploring abstraction through watercolor and works on paper. Their compositions embrace dissolving edges, fluid gestures, and the full radiance of summer light.Unframed and irregular, the works carry a softness—evoking the lightness of summer air and the subtle flow of forms. Each piece suggests a space that hovers between presence and absence, held just long enough to be felt.
