High Tide Low Tide Exhibition at Deering Estate
Rooted in both Miami’s tidal geography and Mette Tommerup’s Scandinavian heritage, Tommerup’s practice draws from a Nordic tradition of reduction – an elemental paring down that foregrounds atmosphere, light, and spatial perception over representation. Ocean, earth, dusk, and the auroral phenomena of the northern lights operate not as imagery but as structural conditions: forces that dissolve boundaries, destabilize orientation, and expand the field of painting beyond the wall. Through these immersive spatial propositions, she positions painting as a phenomenological encounter-an embodied threshold where architecture, landscape, and viewer converge. Get details online.
