Five unique exhibits for November
- 5-9 p.m.
- Julie Kirkland: “Hidden Strength”
- Life is full of unexpected twists and turns—surprise challenges we don’t anticipate. It’s common to feel fragile and unprepared, doubting ourselves and our ability to handle the trials that come our way. But often, when faced with these tough situations, we discover a surprising inner strength that we didn’t know we possessed. In the solitude of our hearts and minds, there can be a quiet reservoir of resilience and fortitude that surfaces when we need it most.
- Carol Mordecai Myers: “Dropping In”
- This latest body of work comes from two conflated ideas. One from my recent introduction and love of scuba diving and the other of the feeling that happens when one drops into a project or task and is completely present.
- Patricia Coughlin: “The Spontaneous Gesture”
- This collection speaks to the ways in which curiosity, and a continual process of discovery, inform my work. I am an abstract painter, inspired by both the inner and outer landscape. I begin with a spontaneous gesture and let intuition take the lead, only becoming intentional later in the process. For me, painting is visual poetry and reflects the mystery and joy of being alive.
- Ashley Andersen & Deborah Schoen: “Preserves: Recipes for Domestic Rituals”
- The intention of this show is to focus on the intersection of the invisibility of the home and the way that it impacts our societies. Invisible labor, where domestic routines are taken for granted, is a strong undercurrent to how Andersen and Schoen think through where the transcendent and the temporary encounter one another in these domestic spaces and practices. While the obvious boundaries of the show are situated under the “invisibility” of the house/home, more materialistic parameters inform their practice.
- Carol Dickerson: “Tapestries and Looking Sideways”
- The process of covering and uncovering, addition and subtraction, over and over again as I seek a resolution of the problems I have created. I am never sure where I will end up but at some point it begins to please me, some combination of color, shapes, texture, and line that I am drawn to.
