What has Come to Be

What’s been happening takes its toll.  I don’t know what to do.  What’s doing?  Don’t know.  But what’s to do?  Accept that I don’t know and look to see what comes to be.  Where did it come from?  Don’t know.  What does it mean?  Don’t know.  What now?  Just paint.

Plastic Vortex

Assemblage paintings, made from single-use & non-recyclable plastic crap.

Most conventional plastic crap is made from non-biodegradable petrochemicals— instead of decomposing over time, it simply breaks down into smaller & smaller pieces.
Inexpensive and simple to manufacture, costly and inconvenient to recycle. Produced on a massive scale, used in endless ways, by countless humans, throughout the day; often discarded and disregarded in mere minutes.
The waste created from plastic crap has only accumulated over time, impacting our physical health and the environment.

By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans

Finding Our Way

Based on the Greek myth of Theseus defeating the minotaur and finding his way out of the labyrinth with string, these pieces deal with feeling lost while navigating the mayhem of 2020, both in the domestic setting with energetic children, and in the wider world. Not neglecting other aspects of this bizarre time, this series also looks at the quiet moments of concern for loved ones, the contrast of volatility and vulnerability, the constriction and gladness of being (home)bound together, and above all the desire to live and love as we wish.

Katie Hoffman
I’ll See You in My Dreams

This is my first solo exhibit of new work in about 4 years. Some of these paintings explore the inner space of my imagination. Others reflect the strange circumstances we have all been dealing with in 2020.

Sara-Lou Klein
New Work

In my art 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 the recent death of my mom. In this body of work, I use the media of colored pencils and collage material (and fabric) on wood panels to explore imaginary worlds.

Gayla Lemke
Roll With It: Years of Prints  

Past and Present Print-based works by Gayla Lemke

Gayla Lemke started her life as an artist focused on printmaking, with a fondness for zinc plate etching. While she presently is more likely to work in ceramic sculpture or installation, she still re-visits the world of printmaking .
This exhibition was originally scheduled to be part of Mo’Print but was postponed due to COVID-19. With the extra time, the show grew from being mainly a chronology of prints to include a series of abstracted landscapes made from cutting apart and reassembling artist proofs.

John Horner
Taking Stock: The Almanac of the Familiar

   New Print Works

I see my self as an explorer, I am curious about the world, and curious about nature ( and human nature ) my seemingly random encounters often deeply touch me and where I live in the mountains of the Front Range and in Boulder county I have plenty of opportunities for close up encounters with wildlife .
In this current show and series I have continued my exploration , taking stock of my experience of connectedness through some of the chance encounters I have had usually in a most ordinary way through the years, while this series cycle is far from exhaustive inventory I like to think that this is another link in chain in a garland of images that one day will finally complete this years long obsession to first draw and then paint or print out the images of the various wild beings that I have encountered as if there where a disparate need to document before it disappears.  — John Horner

Celebrate Memories

Celebrate Memories is a photographic series documenting roadside memorials in an effort to promote empathy. The subjects – public memorials erected by grieving family members – have been photographed from an anonymous perspective, with no judgement being offered by the photographer nor expected of the audience. The images are created from “sites” which were found organically, without any knowledge of them having previously existed. By photographing the sites as they are found and using a neutral perspective, it is my hope that the viewer is able to feel empathetic and understand the emotion which drove the creation of such sites.
