‘See-Thru Palm’ will include a new group of paintings, large format ink drawings, as well as textual and vinyl window additions, on view at Dio Horia Gallery Acropolis, June 17 – July 29, 2023.
Across her work, Dancy uses techniques of layering to create ruptures in space. Formally harmonious but physically impossible, her visual paradoxes suggest spiritual and philosophical concepts of subjectivity, eternity, and our relationship to nature. The converging planes of her paintings depict bodies in liminal states, not through the soft dissolution of the blur but through bold, hard edges that allude to a reordering of physical and psychological hierarchies.The properties of line, color, and shape yield to theoretical structures, as the paintings suggest a world ripe for reimagining, shaped by thought and sensation.

Throughout the exhibition, the notion of glass as both a container and a lens intermix, creating a dialogue between matter and void. A silhouetted vinyl figure in a diving pose affixed to the street-facing glass walls casts an occasional shadow into the gallery interior. The overlay of multiple forms to articulate space echoes the act of conservation intrinsic to Dio Horia’s location: housed in a villa urbana dating back to the fourth century, the gallery has preserved a subterranean level of original architecture under glass, visible to the public from above. Placed in dialogue with Dancy’s work, the space itself is swept up in her cosmic contemplation of change, permanence, and the multitude of energies that lie just beneath the surface of the visible.
