The Phatory is pleased to announce an exhibition of works by MJ King from Friday, October 1st through Saturday, October 30th, with an artist reception on Friday, October 1st, from 6-8:00 p.m.  We are located at 618 E 9th Street between Avenues B & C in Manhattan and are open by appointment.

MJ King is a multidisciplinary artist. Her work includes drawings, paintings, ceramics, and sculpture, both abstract and figurative expressions. Fundamental to her process is the importance of play and discovery without constraints. Confined to working in the corner of her apartment during the lockdown, she has created a series of abstract miniature sculptures that serve as maquettes for larger-scale projects King envisions. Drawing on the decorative arts and design for inspiration, each piece becomes an invitation for the eye to travel among the details created by this approach. Ironically, by accepting the challenges of working small scale, her repertoire has expanded into endless new forms and modes of presentation.
