Rachel Amos Connecting to Earth
“Continuing the Cycle” Chalk Pastel 18″ x 12″
Propelling me in most of these drawings is the discovery made public not too long ago, that trees and other plants communicate a lot of information with each other via fungi. This is really interesting for me, as it seems to show a further connection among many kinds of life; I have tried to express the depth of this in my work.
Nolan Tredway Undark
“Memory Garden“
Nolan Tredway’s Undark will feature his newest multimedia work. This exhibition explores the impermanence of the mortal and the digital infinite, invoking the meaning of memory and its subjugation versus the clarity of objective documents. Both these lives, the ones remembered and the ones observed, are part of cyclical and symbiotic process, each needing the other to stay alive, but ultimately failing. Our ability to bring meaning to mortality depends on our ability to celebrate the impermanent as part of a larger trajectory.
Artists Faith Williams and Candace Shepard present a mixed-media exhibition exploring the deeply personal connections of natural ecosystems: from the microscopic moments that tie organisms together to the dynamic balance of the environment.

“As Things Are.“ 36 x 48 inches. Acrylic on canvas. 2017 Katherine JohnsonHere and Now
Today is where I want to be in this life, for better or for worse. Painting is my grappling with the reality of the present moment and how to live in it.
Wynne ReynoldsWords that Wound: The Language of Misogyny
A visualization of the effect of language on thought, from the forgotten vocabulary of our ancestors to current phrases that create harmful perceptions of femininity. Wynne’s amalgam of traditionally masculine hardware and feminine fiber arts reminds us that such stereotypes are artificial, in fact “man made.” A combination of 2-D and 3-D works, as well as audience participation pieces, creates a dynamic show not to be missed.
