{"product_id":"views-1","title":"Views","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eCortney Herron’s latest body of work explores identity as a frequency — something continually transmitted, interpreted, and recalibrated in relation to one’s surroundings. Her figures appear as beings in disguise, with elongated fingers, gloves, veils, masks, and animal forms functioning as tools for translation between the internal self and the external world. Recurring feline imagery shifts from companion or guardian to camouflage, blurring the boundaries between figure and disguise while reflecting the subtle adaptations required to navigate spaces in which one may feel misunderstood or othered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center of the series is an exploration of energy and the invisible exchanges that occur between individuals. Herron considers the tension between what can be controlled or concealed and what is inevitably communicated through presence, perception, and connection. Her figures appear to move between possible versions of themselves, shifting in response to how they are perceived. Through this evolving visual language, Herron examines adaptation as a form of endurance, revealing the complex ways identity is preserved, transformed, and expressed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the artist's words:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A close, unguarded face fills the frame, eyes replaced entirely by two still pools of pale blue. Not necessarily glasses reflecting water, but glasses that have become water, horizon folded directly into the lens. Where other pieces in this series conceal the self to survive being observed, Views resolves the same exchange in the opposite direction: instead of hiding from the gaze, the figure dissolves into what it's looking at, eyes absorbed by the very horizon they were meant to take in. The boundary between observer and observed doesn't just blur here, it disappears entirely, until there's no longer a self doing the seeing, only the view itself, looking back.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cortney Herron","offers":[{"title":"16 x 24 inches | Original Work \/ Black \/ Reveal","offer_id":67593326854326,"sku":"CH_V_PAINTING_16.0_X_24.0__A638_A26396","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 x 24 inches | Original Work \/ Walnut \/ Reveal","offer_id":67593326887094,"sku":"CH_V_PAINTING_16.0_X_24.0__A638_A26396","price":3200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 x 24 inches | Original Work \/ Unframed \/ N\/A","offer_id":67593326919862,"sku":"CH_V_PAINTING_16.0_X_24.0__A638_A26396","price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/7736\/files\/Views-PAINTING-FRAMED-WALNUT-REVEAL-CH-VIEWS-A26396-16-x-24.jpg?v=1791331088","url":"https:\/\/www.tappancollective.com\/products\/views-1","provider":"Tappan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
