GALLERY I: Bringing Back Memories
Denise Presnell & Fernando Rico
Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024 – Sunday, March 2, 2025
This duo explores memory in two distinct ways. Fernando Rico paints the landscapes of his country, or memories of them, as an attempt to bring memory with him and make it an ally to combat loneliness among other demons. Denise Presnell employs the marks, forms and textures of the previously painted layers to develop new directions.
GALLERY II: Breaking Into Beautiful
Lael Sheber & Elizabeth Tuttle
Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024 – Sunday, March 2, 2025
Twists and turns transform our lives in unexpected ways. Elizabeth Tuttle explores the shattered forms of storm-tossed trees, fallen on the forest floor. Lael Scheber collaborates with the natural world to reorganize the broken pieces of ourselves into something unimagined, magnificent and whole.
GALLERY III: Views and Hues
Henry Matthiessen III & Dawn Wians
Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2024 – Sunday, March 2, 2025
Henry Matthiessen III and Dawn Wians set out to explore human scale in their work. One discovers a grounded connection to the earth through painting abstracted woodlands, and the other amplifies humanity’s insignificance in the universe through a camera lens. Explore contrasting perspectives in this collaborative exhibition.
