Gayla Lemke    Down the Rabbit Hole
“Welcome to the Republic of Gilead”

Sometimes when making art, the focus is on the “making.” Through the process of creating, a body of work emerges, feeding off each piece and continuing to grow. There is something about the obsession of making.

The evolution of “Down the Rabbit Hole” came about by visiting old ways of working, using a different approach with each. Starting with the figure and then being reminded of something else, the plunge down the rabbit hole began. Faces then busts, then houses, a book, and through it all, clay prints. Somehow it all tied together visually.

As time went by and current events became more disturbing, certain pieces took on new meaning. Falling down the rabbit hole of news cycles, other distractions and fear of the future politically, connected with falling down the rabbit hole of just making art. Perhaps there is no way to separate them and art making is a way of staying sane.

“3 Bird Nest” Oil on canvas. 30″ by 10.” $550

These new oil paintings were created while I anticipated a road trip toward the path of totality for the April solar eclipse.

Familiar themes of women, birds, and cats predominate. I am delighted to collaborate with Gayla Lemke on three works of art in this exhibition.

Wynne Reynolds   Elemental Allegory

This installation, along with its accompanying shadow boxes, is my visualization of our myths of creation and cessation.
As important to life as fire, air, water, and earth, are the stories we tell ourselves and others to give us comfort in the dark.

We burn
We breath
We drink
We grow
We shine.

Jason McKinsey    In This Way We Grow

The photography and mixed media of In This Way We Grow were Jason’s touchstones while navigating an emotionally turbulent landscape over the past year.

Opening Reception: Friday, March 29, 6-9 PM

Alane Holsteen   Silent Spring

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature – the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.

Nolan Tredway   Egregore Ecologies

Egregore Ecologies is an interactive piece about connecting hearts to affect physical change in one’s environment. In contrast to Richard Dawkins’ and William S. Burroughs’ pathological descriptions of communication as viruses, I want to reframe our exchanges as nutrients metabolized in a complex system. The piece asks you to include your own heart in the process, closing the circuit and enacting the change in another. The change demands participation and choice, making the resulting art a reflection of dialogue, not passive observation.

Heather Hauptman   Fine Lines and Linens

The mindless task of washing is done. Her hands double the clean white pillow cases, before putting them away. In this quiet space between tasks something flickers on in her. Taking a deep breath in, she lets a smile creep across her teeth.  As she arches one brow, and whispers to herself.  Now, it’s my turn.

Walls    Works by Naropa University Visual Arts Students

 Walls is an exhibition of artwork created by students from Naropa University, delving into the profound concept of walls. The exhibition prompts viewers to contemplate the significance of walls through the eyes of the artists and how these structures either facilitate or hinder our connection with the world. The exploration extends beyond physical barriers, inviting consideration of self-imposed limitations erected to shield individuals.
