In 2008, Reed Danziger debuted an ambitious, otherworldly group of watercolors on paper at Hosfelt Gallery in San Francisco. Her elegant, gravity-defying flotsams: razor-thin, finger-like branches, cells, inky feathers, and muted necklaces of energy suggested an epic, metaphysical realm somewhere between The Dark Crystal and Annie Dillard’s Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. The suite of transporting, mysterious works—most of which were fourteen feet across—demonstrated a fresh, and earned, vision.
