Main Projects is pleased to present Obstructed View, a group exhibition featuring new works by Sarah Schlesinger, Georgia-May Travers Cook, Cait Porter, and Cate Pasquarelli. Together, these artists explore the ways in which sightlines—whether literal, architectural, or psychological—frame perception and shape meaning.

 

In Obstructed View, the act of looking is never straightforward. Each work offers a vantage point that is framed, cropped, or partially concealed: an endless horizon truncated by foliage, a miniature town glimpsed only through its façades, an interior distilled to a single charged detail, a figure fragmented by the screen that mediates it. These scenes, poised between intimacy and distance, turn the viewer into an active participant, invited to imagine the narratives that unfold just beyond reach.

 

Sarah Schlesinger’s recent hedge paintings heighten the tension between expansiveness and obstruction. Her measured horizons are both alluring and withholding, reminding us that what is concealed can define our experience as much as what is revealed. Georgia-May Travers Cook stages moments of narrative arrest—a ribbon, a cherry stem, or the corner of a face offered as the only clue to a wider scene. These taut compositions hover between realism and fiction, charged with suggestion and ambiguity. Cait Porter turns to the everyday object: a vase of flowers beside an air conditioner, a bouquet caught in plastic wrap, a daisy beginning to wilt in its final moments of display. Her luminous still lifes imbue domestic fragments with the weight of presence and absence. Cate Pasquarelli, working in miniature, constructs dioramas of houses and civic architecture encased under glass cloches. At once intimate and removed, these tiny worlds evoke memory, isolation, and the fragility of collective myth.

 

Together, these artists navigate the thresholds between public and private, exterior and interior, fact and fiction. Their works remind us that what is withheld—the obstructed view—can be as evocative, and as telling, as what is laid bare.
