Kris Hargis at Froelick Gallery

This is a serious show a seriously beautiful one for that matter



'A Michigan Winter' represents the process of trying to understand a grief and how it can morph into some of your own, for the same, yet different reasons. These works are about holding space and light, compassion, love, frustration, vulnerability, and also self care. Making these drawings has helped me to understand better and gives me hope to continue on down this path by shedding light on the unknown.
