Stephen Shugart   Phase Shift

My new light-based sculptures address global industrialism and commerce and their impact on the natural world. Investigating the artistic possibilities of industrial shrink wrap, Styrofoam, cardboard packaging, colored LED lights, black lights and video, I contrast human-made materials and media with natural materials such as twigs, tree branches, string, weathered wood and stones.

Wynne Reynolds  Hold your Breath

In this installation, large sculptures are suspended over a sea of small pieces in a wreckage of imagination. The work is composed of scavenged objects, sailor’s knots, and crusty bits of plaster and hope.
Hold Your Breath invokes shipwrecks and heartaches, whale songs and love stories, bleached bones and women’s woes, forbidden seas and rising tides.

Color, shapes and patterns along with some inspiration from Dr. Seuss form the cohesion for this body of work. Beginning with a somewhat random approach to creating a show, my process eventually became more methodical. The result is a series of smaller groups of sculptures that relate to each other through surface treatment and color… with a splash of satire.

Alta Hope’s work delves into the contrast of light and dark and the depths of reflective interpretation they bring to her paintings.  Continuing to explore abstraction, her works capture the rich potential of the black and white spectrum.

Mark Brasuell     Unterschwelling

My current work delves into the subliminal mind, showcased through a series of drawings that reach into the dark, the unknown, and the mysterious. Subliminal art is a captivating genre that operates on the fringes of conscious perception, inviting viewers to delve beyond the surface and explore hidden meanings or emotions embedded within the artwork.

Introducing “Unterschwelling” (translated as “Subliminal” in English): an exciting exhibition of my work that ventures into the realms of the unknown. Expect bold, black and white drawings punctuated with pops of color and an unparalleled sense of space, creating a show like no other.

Several sudden life changes have led to my having no painting time for months. There was no choice, no one else to take on the job, but in the end the side effects of what I had to do – acceptance of what is and letting go – were a gift. In this show, I use the skills I learned during that time. New versions of past work are changed to reflect where I am now and new work flows from unquestioned sources.

“Unknown”

While my recent photographic concerns have been largely regarding abandonment, forgetting or being forgotten, decrepitude and so on – themes which this very building embodied until a couple of years ago – I’ve wanted for some time to show work from the recent past. I’ve felt for a pretty long time that these Polaroids which date from a period when I scanned for a living deserve more than one showing. The scans and thus the enlargements show every “flaw” and the “peculiar Polaroid properties” and thus detail in the originals. These images were made after I gave up cycling everywhere and had to drive to Texas to see about my mother’s health and welfare. So with some exceptions, these are chronicles of little journeys around 2001 – 2006.

Opening reception – July 14 at 6 pm with a poetry reading by Heather Hauptman from 7pm – 8pm

Sue Crosby Doyle     Rocks of Ages

The current series “Rocks of Ages” is a collection of Drypoint prints of rock formations around the southwestern United States. I have been drawn to these natural rock formations because of their individual rock shapes, textures, and shadows that make up the whole unique formation.

As I worked through the Drypoint etching process of these images and plates, my skills developed in being able to capture the nuances of the individual rocks within the formation as well as the uniqueness of the light and shadows of the entire formation and its surroundings.

Nolan Tredway     Soft Mutations

In the early days of the pandemic, many artists saw the opportunity to make amazing work. I floundered. I tried to make so many things, both for my own mental health and out of a sense of helping others. It was important for me to keep creating, even while knowing it wasn’t my best work. Soft Mutations is a revisiting of a few sculptural prototypes, tests, and failures and reworking them with a kind and compassionate lens into new creatures with new purpose. It’s a practice of grace and forgiveness, a path forward, and a nod toward the endless possibilities for transformation.

Heather Hauptman     What if She…the absence of the divine feminine in the patriarchy.

Kerem Smith-Stone     Cloud Singers Shows

A collection of new works by Kerem Smith-Stone exploring the meaning of Black freedom in dreams, myth, and fantasy. Incorporating aspects of surrealism, symbolism, and classic portraiture with the aim of depicting Black dignity.
