INDIANAPOLIS, IN (December 24, 2019) – The Harrison Center starts the new year strong with Nebulous Navigation, new work by Johnny Mckee in the Harrison Gallery. The show opens with an artist reception on Friday, January 3 from 6:00 to 9:00pm. McKee, who both maintains a studio and curates the Underground Gallery at the Harrison Center, explained that the show title means that no matter what goals we set in place, they are never achieved in a straight line. He goes on to say that this show proves that point in that the final product is much different than what he started out to create. While there are familiar elements to previous work – stars, clouds – this show also draws heavily from literature, most notably Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. As a teacher, McKee is particularly proud of a collaborative piece that he created with students from ArtMix, an organization that creates opportunities for learning, self-expression, and socialization for people with disabilities.
