Zea Morvitz: Notebook Archeology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Gallery Route One in Point Reyes Station, California, USA
17 May-22 June 2025<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Zea Morvitz\u2019s “Notebook Archaeology” is an exhibition of gridded collages of her abstract drawings, and a selection of notebooks and altered books. For two decades, Zea Morvitz has been drawing in small notebooks (seen in this exhibit), often beginning with images unearthed from memory. She collaborates with the form to create unique abstract images, following her curiosity and imagination.

Morvitz excavated some drawings as digital images and arranged them in grids. She saw how they could be read\u2014in a mysterious wordless way\u2014like hieroglyphs or runes. Thinking of them as pictograms, she created a second series of collages (both series are in the show) rearranging images, looking at contexts, affinities, and narratives. The artist shares her fascination with ancient writing, how we read early alphabets as \u201cundecipherable yet graphically interesting abbreviations\u201d and her interest in archaeological methods: mining ancient sites for artifacts and placing them on tables to puzzle out the meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
