Hedda Neelsen: Waking Matter
On view: August 15–September 14, 2025
Opening reception: Friday, August 15, 6:00-9:00 pm

Eye Lounge is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, Waking Matter, which will include new work by Hedda Neelsen.

Waking Matter is a collection of paintings and drawings that visualize inner experience through still life observation and imagination. Creative practice was used by the artist both as a catalyst for and a means of deepening qualities of mindfulness and presence. As if bringing life to forms that were once inanimate, this work reflects a growing awareness of areas within the body and psyche that were previously only dimly lit.

The exhibition is free and open to the public.

Eye Lounge is a collective, artist-run, contemporary art space committed to fostering emerging and established visual artists in downtown Phoenix.
