Through line, gesture and material investigation, Crosshatch: Making Networks brings together the work of Seth Adelsberger, Tim Doud, Francie Hester and Joseph Shetler in an exhibition that considers systems of connection, exchange and perception. Extending across painterly and sculptural forms, the artists explore how patterns emerge through repetition, accumulation and process, creating visual structures that map relationships between the personal, industrial, technological and social. While rooted in distinct practices, each artist approaches abstraction as a means of navigating networks. Doud integrates textile fragments and geometric forms to examine identity and material culture, while Hester’s layered aluminum and plexiglass constructions transform memory into shifting spatial experiences. Adelsberger’s luminous surfaces blur the boundaries between physical painting and digital light and Shetler’s restrained linear compositions draw from systems of labor, ritual and contemplation. Together, the works propose abstraction not as an escape from contemporary life, but as a framework through which its interconnected conditions can be examined and understood. Positioned in dialogue throughout the gallery, the artists reveal how lines can function simultaneously as structure, record, pathway and point of departure. Crosshatch traces the intersections between individual methods and shared concerns, creating a visual network that reflects both the regional artistic landscape and the broader systems that shape contemporary experience. Through these encounters, the exhibition invites viewers to consider making itself as an act of connection, one that links materials, histories, technologies and communities across space and time.
