Reception: Alex Ponca Stock – Particle and the Wave: Oracles and Symbols for Living and Dying

Particle and the Wave: Oracles and Symbols for Living and Dying is a solo show by Alex Ponca Stock featuring eight abstract artworks that explore the conjunction of modern technological and scientific knowledge with the ancient knowledge handed down from our ancestors. Using the traditional beaded broadcloth found in Osage regalia, Alex Ponca Stock considers a broad array of modern and historical references, including color field painting, early Christian heresies, ancient mound-builders, and quantum physics. The result of her experimentation with larger-scale work, this exhibition is a mature showcase of Ponca Stock’s ability to visually dissect the currents of 21st century life.
