The Place With 10,000 Doors is Harrison’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. This exhibition sees the artist contend with possession, loss, and transformation through a series of landscapes made in the Western United States. Simultaneously engaging and subverting the tradition of plein air landscape painting, Harrison examines her relationship with land, materialism, and cultural myth-making to find the paradoxes and magic of her surroundings. In the past, she has primarily worked with the landscape of Eastern Long Island. In 2023, Harrison spent several months in Taos, New Mexico and Bozeman, Montana, painting unfamiliar terrain.
