Katherine Langdon
Wall Eyed

October - March, 2026

These paintings bring together familiar imagery of houses, fields, and trees, arranging forms in repeated rows or overlapping them into dense, pattern-like scenes. Set against dark backgrounds, the forms shift subtly, with small differences and interruptions throughout. Some details become lost in the surrounding image, while others only become apparent after looking for a while. The work draws on scenic wallpaper and stereograms, using repetition to play with pattern, scale, and depth. The spacing of the forms can affect how they’re seen, sometimes allowing the eye to find depth within an otherwise flat image. Although each painting is contained on a sheet of paper, the repeated scenes suggest something that could continue beyond its edges.
