AS FISH IN THE WOMB
OPENING RECEPTION

Join us to kick off Throughline’s eighth member exhibition, AS FISH IN THE WOMB, featuring new collaborative works by Margaux Crump and Jake Eshelman. The show is on view from February 14th—March 15th, with an opening reception Saturday, February 15th from 6–9pm.

As Fish in the Womb is an experimental series of works celebrating the deep ecology of Houston’s bayous. This exhibition offers a glimpse into our otherwise overlooked waterways who quietly wriggle with life, magic, and possibility. Embodying the liminality of these dynamic, ever-flowing spaces, the artists use light and water as mediums to visualize unseen beings—both real and imagined. As Fish in the Womb includes photographic images, sculptures, and direct material collaborations made with, in, and alongside the spirits who animate our bayous. Together, the artists' collaborative works materialize as long-term, research-based projects rooted in creative, academic, and spiritual inquiry.
