Weathering

Gallery Statement
Weathering is a meditation on time, memory, and endurance. Through abstraction and transparent layers, Gina Geissinger explores how experiences shift and distort as they grow distant—how memories soften, fracture, and rearrange through repeated exposure to time, belief, and reflection.
The works in this exhibition occupy the in-between: what lingers after moments have passed, what remains when clarity gives way to impression. Figures, symbols, and familiar objects surface not as fixed narratives, but as markers of survival—corroded, handled, relied upon. These elements bear the evidence of use and passage, shaped by their own histories rather than defined by a single meaning.
Materiality plays a quiet but essential role in Weathering. Transparent layers and handmade clay frames reinforce the sense of accumulation and erosion, mirroring the way meaning builds, wears down, and reforms over time. Together, the works invite viewers to consider what endures—not in spite of weathering, but because of it.
Artist Bio
Gina Geissinger is a Sacramento-based artist whose work explores memory, perception, and the quiet erosion of certainty over time. Her paintings create subtly warped spaces where personal memories feel unreliable—softened, fragmented, and reshaped through distance. Figures, objects, and environments emerge from abstraction as familiar yet elusive forms, hovering between recognition and disappearance.
Her process is intuitive and accumulative. Geissinger builds layered washes by manipulating the viscosity of paint, then refines surfaces with organic, gestural brushstrokes that preserve the physicality of the medium. Paint remains active and unresolved, resisting overworking in favor of authenticity and movement. Uncertainty is embedded as a material layer within the work itself, shaping how forms develop and assert identity despite warping and weathering.
Rather than offering fixed narratives, Geissinger’s work remains open to alteration through proximity and perception, blurring the boundary between reality and imagination.
Gina Geissinger earned her B.A. in Studio Art from Sacramento State University after completing her Associate’s Degree at Butte College. Her work has been exhibited throughout Northern California, including solo exhibitions such as Mold at WAL Public Market Gallery and Welcome Stranger in Sacramento. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including Noche Oscura at Red Museum Gallery, the Verge Art Auction at Verge Center for the Arts, and juried and award exhibitions at Sacramento State University. Geissinger’s work has been recognized with several honors, including the Verge Regional Artist Residency, the Frederick M. Peyser, Sr. Prize in Studio Art, Best in Show and Best Expression of Environmental and Social Justice awards, and an AIFS Study Abroad Ambassador Scholarship through the Florence Los Rios Art Study Abroad Program.
