The Bird & The Hand: The Art of Benjamin Po***ck & Carey Watters

Grove Gallery in Walker’s Point will present “The Bird & the Hand” on July 17, 2026 from 5-9pm, a show that brings together the work of artists Benjamin Po***ck and Carey Watters who share a fascination in the search for meaning in the natural world. Po***ck’s drawings combine precise geometric structures with birds, hinting at hidden forces and questioning the arbitrary boundaries between humanity and nature. Watters’ intricate cut-paper works result from years of photographing hands as sites for humans to create meaning through ritual, belief, symbolism, and folklore.

Benjamin Po***ck has a formal training in chemical physics plus a fascination with ornithology. His work combines symmetry, straight lines, and perfect circles alongside the delicate form of birds, revealing the invisible framework of forces shaping reality. Of his work, Pollack says, “Here is a continuous picture of reality where all things, living and not, are connected through a framework of forces interacting in delicate order.”

Carey Watters is an artist and professor who creates layered paper installations or “cabinets of curiosities” that blur the boundaries between artifact (human-made) and specimen (nature-made). Influences include Byzantine iconography, religious reliquaries, and vernacular traditions from her travels to southern Italy, Turkey, and Bulgaria. Watters describes the work as “Hands, eyes, and other familiar objects removed from their original context and presented as fragments of larger narratives—evidence of humanity’s enduring desire to classify, interpret, and assign meaning to the world around us.”
