Strictly speaking, most of the work in Hannah Chalew’s latest work, “Nature of the City,” holds still. It just doesn’t seem to.
Drawings of a sagging shotgun house or a single roof line might start off conventionally enough, but then these man-made subjects become the framework, and the vivid green vines and weeds growing around them (and over them) take over, sometimes spreading to additional sheets of paper, always creeping, twisting and seeming to grow again if you blink.
