Karen Mahaffy has been making and exhibiting work in San Antonio since her grad scholar days at UTSA within the mid ’90s.
Geometric and exacting, early wall-hung items counsel a fascination with structure and design, and the way each bleed into one’s consciousness via proximity. Newer works are video-based workouts in subtlety.
Mahaffy’s measured hand creates singular, eerily lovely explorations of area and place which construct an anticipatory stress. In her newest opus, “Deluge,” on show via Sunday, April 26, at The Playhouse Gallery, the artist focuses on real-world occasions — the floods which battered central Texas final summer season.
She explores tragedy and sentimentality via the objects we maintain expensive — the artifacts of lives ruined and misplaced.
Free, 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 26, and by appointment via April 26, The Playhouse Gallery, 306 Belknap Place, (210) 842-1314, playhouse.gallery.
