Reading Palms marks Kelly Ording’s fourth solo exhibition at pt. 2 Gallery, delving deeper into the emotive qualities of color, shape, and composition. Serving as both a meditation on and a celebration of minimalism, beauty, patience, and perseverance, Ording confidently navigates structure and space. Employing a slow, intuitive process of hand-dying and careful painting, she creates geometric patterns that revel in satisfying repetition and color theory. Much like interpreting the lines of a palm, the strokes in Ording’s paintings unveil stories and deeper layers of meaning.
