Description
Swarm Gallery is pleased to present a selection of standout artists from this year's Mills College MFA program.

JUNCTION, a two-person exhibition featuring new works by Michael Hall and Ethan Worden, represents the creative paths and unrevealed futures of each emerging artist, coming together in the gallery setting. Each working with disparate themes, the two artists pull together polarized ideas within their work. Michael Hall's oil paintings explore concepts of control and protection and the difficulties encountered in achieving a balance between the two. Ethan Worden plays with the associations we make with objects. He manipulates scale and configuration to jostle these connections and loosen the ties between the stories we assign to an object and the object itself.
