LAYERS: Cause and Effect, by Maria Gabriela Mizes HickeyJune 15 - August 22, 2020 The foundation of layers comes from the physical world and applied historically in the traditions of mapping and musical notation. Maps and timelines use overlapping shapes and lines to associate different levels of data, allowing them to contribute to the whole while maintaining their own identity. In the art making process, layers can be a vital aesthetic to convey a myriad of visual and emotional responses to a viewer. This vibrant group exhibition will feature artists Alexandra Arata, Cheryl Edwards, Amani Lewis, and Maritza Sosaya, all of whom use different forms of layering in the creation of their work, while each use the method to develop unique and distinctive outcomes. |

The Architect’s Dreamby Carson MurdachJune 15 - August 22, 2020Opening Reception: Saturday, June 20, 5 - 8 pmArtist Talk: Saturday, July 18, 2 - 4 pmThis ambitious and obsessive series of drawings investigates the cyclical nature of history through a sprawling imagined landscape. Depictions of cookie-cutter homes and monumental buildings engulf the terrain and create a landscape of their own. Patterns and structure turn into chaos as the work narrates cautionary tales of humanity’s pattern of civilization. Among all this adversity, rather than wallow in nostalgia and regret, “The Architect’s Dream” directs us to a potentially disastrous endgame and a need for balance. |
