Please join us Saturday, June 1 from 6 – 8 p.m. for the opening of Libbie J. Masterson: Water’s Edge (Mizugiwa). The exhibition will run through August 31st.
Houston based artist Libbie J. Masterson joins Catherine Couturier Gallery (formerly John Cleary Gallery) for the debut of her new series, Water’s Edge (Mizugiwa). In Ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arrangement, the junction of where plant meets water is known as mizugiwa, and Masterson gracefully explores the poetic intersections of land and water in much grander scale with these new pieces.
Inspiration from nature and travel is a consistent theme in Masterson’s work, as she has previously explored the French landscape at night in NUIT, the Texas Hill Country and Big Bend in Still, the great American sky in daytime and evening in Sky, and the frigid beauty of the Icelandic landscape in Is.
When not actively engaged in her own photographic endeavors, Masterson also serves as curator for the Houston Center for Photography. She maintains a career as a scenic designer for ballet and opera companies, most recently including her highly acclaimed sets for Houston Grand Opera’s HGOco premier production of The Memory Stone. Concomitantly, her Illuminated Lily installation project in Hermann Park’s reflection pool in conjunction with JapanFest 2013 was so successful she has been asked to return with it again next year.
For the entirety of the Water's Edge (Mizugiwa) exhibition, please check back soon.
