To What End

duo exhibition with Jordan Keyes at The Second Room

September September 20, 2024 - June 13, 2025



To What End is a duo exhibition showcasing textiles and photographs by presenting artists Nat Ware and Jordan Keyes. Studying themes of solitude, human connection, and the surrounding landscape, their works exist as mirrors to each other. The artists observe the natural work as not just the lived environment, but the relationships built with others - or lack thereof. Black and white images of trees, birds, and doorways- most in darkness- reveal small fragments of land while passing through. Viewers ancounter a dominating quilted denim textile that evokes the captivating moment of light and shadow dancing over the water. To What End seeks to draw meaning and solace form this convergence of solitary moments.
