Cruise Control Contemporary is pleased to announce All Symbols Cast, a new exhibition of work by Julia Schwebel, opening May 23rd 5-8pm.

Living and working in Morro Bay on California’s Central Coast, Julia has developed a practice rooted equally in observation, intuition, and recall. Her paintings emerge through accumulation and erosion at the same time, built slowly through layering, revision, and moments of disappearance that feel inseparable from memory itself. Rather than arriving at fixed images, the works hover somewhere between recognition and dissolution, allowing fragments, marks, and symbols to surface before slipping partially back out of reach.

Created along the fog heavy coastline of Morro Bay, All Symbols Cast carries the feeling of a practice deeply tied to environment, solitude, and repetition. The exhibition reflects an artist allowing instinct and process to lead, trusting that meaning can emerge through accumulation rather than certainty. What remains are works that feel suspended between dream and document, image and atmosphere, familiarity and something far stranger lingering just underneath it.
