Carrie Gundersdorf’s paintings and drawings use various modes of abstraction and observation to explore how individual experience can limit and expand our perception.  Her work connects the field of art to the scientific exploration of the edges of empirical knowledge of the universe and the capacity for discovery and wonder.  While attempting to observe and understand what remains out of reach, the pursuit ultimately reflects back on her, the observer and artist.
