Blue highway. Purple sky. Green clouds. Yellow arrows in a gray parking lot. Driving home through the orange fog, we see the Smoky Mountains. Lights fall on asphalt, cutting across kudzu-strangled trees. An illuminated sign nestled between strange bulbous figures beckons us; a road sign points the way. Time is passing, the light is changing, the weather is unpredictable. Something is happening in the hills. Things are heightened, magical, foreboding. East Tennessee breathes; it dreams.

Park Proyects is proud to present Blue Highway, an exhibition of
works on paper by the Knoxville, TN-based painter Karla Wozniak. The
places depicted in these works are unstable, vacillating between the mundane
and the fantastical. As the viewer muses from a car window, the sky and ground
run together. Tethered to the ground, we find ourselves in the clouds.
Karla Wozniak
received her MFA from Yale University and her BFA from Rhode Island School of
Design. Her recent exhibitions include a solo show at the University of
Vermont’s Colburn Gallery, Burlington VT(2013), and the Gregory Lind Gallery,
San Francisco (2011). Recent group exhibitions include Decade, Gregory Lind Gallery (2012), Bronx Calling, Bronx Museum of Art, Bronx, NY (2011); Weasel, Inman Gallery, Houston, TX
(2010). Wozniak’s distinctions include a New York Foundation for the Arts
Fellowship (2011), participation in the Marie Walsh Sharpe Space Program
(2009-10), and two MacDowell Colony Fellowships (2005, 2007). Her work has been
noted in a number of publications, including the New York Times, the Wall
Street Journal, the San Francisco
Chronicle, the Houston Chronicle, the Village Voice, and the Huffington Post. Wozniak is currently an Assistant Professor
at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
