'Creation and destruction'

“Glory in the Celestial Flower’’ (mixed media and acrylic on plaster panel) by Isabel Riley, in her joint show with Lynne Harlow entitled “GLOW,” at Drive-by-Projects, Watertown, Mass., through Aug. 14.

The gallery says: “Riley's painting … are equal parts creation and destruction as she alternates between building surfaces up and scrubbing them down. She does this in the pursuit of imagined, subconscious spaces and dynamic color.”
