(view
art in exhibition)
Togonon gallery is proud to present Xuchi Naunagayan Eggleton’s
latest work. In this exhibition Eggleton explores “transformations
via destruction” leading to “creation and transition”.
She juxtaposes materials such as:graphite,wax, foam and rubber.
Her art unfolds through experimentation, chance and accident but
mostly through” repetitious gestalt”.
The artist’s new works evidence a “new landscape” evidenced by the
popularization of glitz and others refer to the romance of the land.
Xuchi’s influences stem from Rauschenburg’s unarchival use of products
and Goya’s understanding of the socio politics of human folly.
Xuchi Naungayan Eggleton completed her MFA in painting and sculpture
at the San Francisco Art Institute in 2007. She has consistantly
shown well-recognized works in galleries on the West Coast.

Togonon gallery is proud to present Adventure Art II-XIX, Terra
Fuller’s first solo exhibition at Togonon Gallery. Terra Fuller
is creating an epic adventure saga hoping to prove that she can
be at home in the sublime. Her work involves planning and implementing
adventures such as making a wooden raft and floating down the Mississippi
River, going over a waterfall in a barrel and climbing the highest
active volcano in the world. These documentary videos are her investigation
of the sublime as imagined by Immanuel Kant. Along the way, she
makes drawings of people, place and objects she encounters. Using
pencil on paper, a portable medium, the drawings reference the historical
tradition of traveling itinerant artists while she negotiates the
global migratory reality of the 21st century.
Terra Fuller received her BFA degree from the Art Institute of Chicago
and her MFA from Yale University. Her multi-media work has been
shown in New Zealand, Wales, Germany, Hungary, Los Angeles, New
York, Chicago and Indiana. Her drawings are part of the Viewing
Program at the Drawing Center in New York. Terra will be calling
Morocco her home in late 2008.
Togonon Gallery is a dynamic exhibition
space where both artists and the public discover the distinctive
qualities inherent in West Coast art. Our passion is to present
exhibitions that ignite the discourse on contemporary life and will
engage and expand the audience for art.
