Symbiotic is an exhibition of light-based constructions, reliefs and other constructions/sculptures. In this exhibition, Stephen Shugart explores the theme of the symbiotic relationship between the stuff of our man-made (people-made) commercial world and natural elements using weathered and decomposing wood, stones, electrical wire, fluorescent light bulb, cardboard shipping boxes and other manufactured materials.

Faith Williams is an interdisciplinary artist who is driven by curiosity. She explores the connections of nature and civic engagement through drawing, printmaking and interactive arts. After working with science-based themes in her artwork for the past couple years, she set out to collaborate with biologists first-hand this summer in order to create more science-informed artwork. She spent two weeks observing and assisting field research at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory near Crested Butte, Colorado. Her new body of artwork aims to consider what we know about plant-pollinator relationships and what we are still searching to understand.

20% of all artwork sales will go toward non-profit organizations that support environmental advocacy and pollinator habits.

Alane Holsteen   Reminiscences 2008-2021
Alane Holsteen “Winter’s Redemption” 20” x 32” Charcoal, oil pastel, and encaustic on panel

In 2008, I moved into my first studio out of my home. In a small 200 square foot space, I created large figurative and botanical artwork. But I noticed my painting breaking down, and the urge to paint less representatively, and more intuitively. I switched from painting with oil to painting with encaustic (beeswax and tree resin), which made me become a collaborator with nature herself, bending in the direction the materials themselves took me. In this retrospective, I hope you see the progression, and ultimately are inspired to continue to evolve in your own life.

Katie Hoffman Unsalable
Katie Hoffman “Not With a Bang but a Whimper” oil and gold leaf on canvas, 36″ x 24″

Katie Hoffman presents a survey exhibition spanning two decades of her paintings which are too dark, disturbing, dystopic, or just too weird to hang on your walls.

Clara Harbour  Location, Location, Location
Clara Harbour “Clone Lab” mixed media, 12″ x 12″ x 6″

Clara Harbour’s dioramas explore a 2020 quarantine inspired desire for locations. A strong sense of juvenilia taps into childlike fantasy in several of the pieces, and humor remains a strong element throughout Location Location Location. The mixed media dioramas are texturally varied and impart a great deal of unique ambience, which along with a theatrical detailed dressing turns these dioramas into little stories.

Ken Peterson  PLAGUE45 RUMINATIONS – Escape from Lockdown
Call of the Siren, 2021. mixed media 24″ X 24″

The PLAGUE45 lockdown gave many of us an opportunity to reassess what we were trying to creatively communicate, the time needed to make those evaluations, and the time to break away from established habits and old methods of thinking and doing, to push our boundaries that may have become too predictable and stagnate. I have been able to utilize this TIME in COVID to explore some different paths, and to allow the materials I use to influence the work I make.

Mala Setarum-Wolfe  Svadhyaya
Time, A Reflection 12” x 18” Oil and silver leaf on panel.

Svadhyaya is Sanskrit for self study.  Through this, I found myself observing inconsistencies in values and actions, such as rushing around busily and then wasting time, being an environmentalist and lazily accepting plastic bags. The silver leaf offers an incomplete reflection as we struggle to see the true self and reflect on ourselves, habits, actions and inactions.

Christine Rose Curry   The Plastic Gospels

Investigating the extreme health and environmental hazards from Modern Civilization’s over-consumption of single-use/non-recyclable plastics. A precarious obsession, that’s sinfully wasteful and pollutive. Visually translated by reconstructing genuine plastic refuse into concepts and icons that are similarly worshipped by a faithful collective.

Sara-Lou Klein    A  Bird in Hand
“A Bird in Your Hand is Worth more than a Flock in the Bushes” – an ode to my parents 16” x 20” Mixed media on wood panel

I transform some of my experiences into whimsical stories. From birds & owls to humans, scenarios are created to lift the heart. Sometimes, though, my art takes on more serious undertones, such as dealing with my mom’s passing. In this body of work, I use the media of colored pencils and collage material – including sewn fabric – on wood panels to explore imaginary worlds.

John Horner  Plague Series

61 Abstractions in a time of Pandemic.

Sarah Tenney  Harbinger

Sometimes life has foreshadowing.  The moment an idea becomes a viable option, as well as the implications that decision carries for following generations, is the crux of this series. The past and present are linked through colorful tales from my lineage. My loved ones and I interact with animal stand-ins to illustrate stories about familial relationships and our inner lives, and more subtly, social issues that pull at families and individuals.

Alexandra Lorrae  It Comes At Night
Sourheart

It Comes At Night represents my personal struggles over the years with PTSD, depression, addiction & anxiety. Like most, the pandemic turned my world upside. The only job I ever wanted, a photographer who toured with metal bands, was taken away from me. I was left with no clue when I’d be able to get it back or what to do with myself to stay creative. Knowing it would be a test to my sobriety along with my confidence as an artist, the idea of giving up seemed much easier than starting over. However I decided to start over. During the last 15 months, I re-visited my love for horror, dark art & the macabre to create what you see in It Comes At Night.

Please be advised, some of what you will see isn’t suitable for a younger &/or sensitive audience.

Sue Crosby Doyle  Re-Entry
Visual Sentence #1

Last year, 2020, was a year of lock down for most of us. I chose to do art and I found some online art classes to take. One of these was the visual sentences. All the paper in the sentence has been printed on, cut apart then joined together to form a visual sentence.
