The Body as Weather brings together new work by Shuling Guo and Zuriel Waters, two painters who approach the body as a shifting system rather than a fixed form. In both practices, the body behaves like climate: cyclical, responsive, and shaped by pressures that accumulate and disperse over time. Guo’s layered surfaces move fluidly between pelvis and butterfly, flower and figure, treating anatomy and nature as interchangeable states. Waters’ sewn and folded paintings hover against the wall, their buoyant forms suggesting emotional posture without settling into literal figuration. Together, they treat painting as a site of sensation and transformation, where the body is not outlined or defined but felt, stored, and reshaped through time
