The Hexagon Space presents: Harmonic Huh, an exhibition of drawings by Sarah Anderson, Andy Jenkins, and Luke Ramsey, curated by Baltimore-based Victoria Long. Through black ink drawings on paper, the artists in Harmonic Huh explore various earthly, spiritual and spatial realms. Colors vibrate and inspire, but these artists get back at the basics: positive and and negative imagery, black lines and white space — the elemental architecture of psychedelia. Harmonic Huh celebrates everyday shapes and objects, the murk of the mundane and the sheer far-outness of existence.

Opening reception on Friday, May 14th from 6 to 9 pm, with light refreshments (BYOB).
