Welcome to Intersect Aspen 2026: HIMMELJORD Arts 🎍
HIMMELJORD Arts centers its program around what it describes as “eccentric authenticity”—bringing together artists whose works are both meditative and materially driven, with a strong emphasis on process and craft.
At Intersect Aspen, the gallery presents artists including Samir Faris and Monika Hardy, whose practices explore landscape, memory, and perception through abstraction and construction.
Faris’ work considers the essence of a landscape rather than its direct representation—using layered, tactile processes to create images that shift with the viewer’s movement, oscillating between presence and disappearance.
Hardy approaches landscape through accumulation and arrangement, assembling materials into modular compositions that evoke place through memory rather than depiction—transforming physical elements into abstract, internal environments.
Across the presentation, the works reflect a shared interest in how environments are felt, constructed, and remembered—moving beyond image into experience.
