In a show which explores transformation, renewal and nature, VOLTA Basel alums Megan Baker and Eleanor Johnson, converse with Ovid's classic poem 'Metamorphoses' through dreamlike forms and flowing shapes.
Together, Baker and Johnson converge with works that invite the viewer to ponder on our ever-shifting essence of existence and how transformation acts as a fundamental force in nature and our lives. "Taking inspiration from the myths presented in Ovid's poem, I aim to stretch out these moments of transformation through the temporal qualities of paint; where painting allows me to linger, and the paint slips into its own form of renewal." - Megan Baker
