Gayla Lemke    Light and Dark: Circadian Rhythms

As we move into the darker days of winter, the importance of light and of embracing the contrast inherent in life becomes more apparent. Yin and yang, light and dark, sorrow and joy…the balance of opposites…internal rhythms and universal rhythms…these are the things that inspired this work.

Mark Ferrell    Unsolved Mysteries

My show is titled ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ because I’m a fan of the show, but it also is a good description of my paintings. This isn’t to say that I think these paintings are unresolved- on the contrary, I scrutinized these paintings quite a bit. Like the TV show, though, my works (based on photographs of the suburbs I grew up in) are both reflective of reality, but also reference the supernatural. I think this illustrates what I prefer painting to be, a dichotomy between drawing from what we see while acknowledging the spiritual trail left by an artists’ hand (what some would call sense of touch). These paintings are also a form of wish fulfillment, taking my sometimes isolated environment and adding what I wish to see in them.

Travis Vermilye  Sporangia

The natural world and a lifelong attraction to the beauty and wonder of tiny life forms viewed through a magnification lens inspire my work. Through digital composite images and short animated film, I aim to capture the wondrous joy of childlike discovery and exploration of the natural world and present this, best that I can, as it appears in my memory and imagination. The pieces exhibited here draw inspiration, sometimes very directly, from the fantastically surreal forms found in the fruiting bodies of molds and slime molds.

Stephen Shugart  Symbiotic

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  Cyclical Forces: Explorations on the interconnected relationships of plants and pollinators

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

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 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’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

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

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

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.
