It can be impossible to measure a stranger’s impression upon us. The echo of their perfume, the pattern of their jacket, their odd pet or quirky socks can linger in our subconscious, haunting the unlit corners of the mind. In her latest solo exhibition at Hashimoto Contemporary, Close Encounters, Savannah-based artist Angela Burson considers her interest in strangers and transient spaces. Painting incomplete glimpses of strangers in undefined settings, Burson’s attention to details recreates a memory, a feeling, a dream of a chance encounter we didn’t realize we could recall.
