Artist Statement:
Ambiguity and incongruities in depictions of natural physical law lead the viewer to interpret and participate in the scene where flora and fauna can exist in a void in which the perception can vary and change. Objects float in zero-gravity space or can be buoyant in fluid environments and the proposed environments could be depictions of forest floors, the deep sea, or outer space on a microscopic or cosmic level.

This group exhibition features local, national and international artists whose imagery and processes represent varying approaches to the photographic medium. While some artists utilize subject matter from a more traditional perspective, others seek alternative methods, bringing experimentation to the image-making process. In unifying such junctures, this exhibition is an exploration of photography's capacity to transcend both physical and creative boundaries

A Mother's Journey, takes the viewer on a 10-year journey through loneliness, heartbreak, rejection, fear and faith.  Through the use of photography, 2-D and 3-D objects, fiber art and homemade paper, the symbolism of how a mother responds to, and accepts, the diagnosis of a child with mental illness will inspire and awe the viewer.

Feelings of nostalgia resonate through works by wood sculptor Ramon Gibbs and photographer Brian Harmon.  Gibbs' intricate wooden jewelry boxes and miniature furniture, and Harmon's intimate, suspended photographs on silk partner harmoniously to create a beautiful collaboration of two very different art forms. 

This exhibition is a collection of nature-inspired artworks--where the word "nature" is intended as "the world in its entirety."

Tale is a body of work based on animals themes and fairy tales; horses, rabbits, birds, deer, foxes and wolves are placed together in harmony among blooming flowers and vines.  The wild and the tame are harmoniously interwoven in this “Tale.”  The fiber sculptures in this exhibition are made with both hand and machine-made felt and are stitched and embroidered.
