Meandering North juxtaposes abstract digital weavings by Meagan Smith with representational paintings and ceramics by Chen Peng. Their works explore mysterious Nordic landscapes, which transform into immersive states of mind that highlight beauty, isolation, and their feminist connections to the environment. In Smithʼs tapestry, undulating patterns, graphic waves, and optical coloring create specific visual movements that relate to phenomenology and perception. Peng explores the narratives of our relationships with nature, presenting a stillness and timelessness quality in her works. These works invite the viewers to meander alongside the artists, weaving in and out of their own contemplations of personal landscape.
