In September 2016 at the Harrison Center, I was a part of a two person show entitled Moths Alight, Butterflies in Flight.

I spent an hour today taking in the show, A Working History of Things to Come, works by Eric Hudgins in Wug Laku’s Studio and Garage. The show is aptly titled, as the paintings build upon themselves and foreshadow his current work. Overall, Hudgin creates pieces that have interweaving patterns, ideas, and colors. ...
