The Sky’s No Limit: Sue Adams
Sue Adams’ art begins at the distant line where earth meets sky … and moves up from there.
Faces of Home: T.J. Harrison
There’s a definite warmth and intimacy to T.J. Harrison’s photography, a feeling that Harrison is recording not only artistic images but the faces of those for whom she cares deeply.
Constructive Destruction: Nikki Hager
Nikki Hager’s acts of destruction have proved constructive on multiple fronts … and memorable to viewers as well, in all of the good ways.
Intrusion, Invitation, Inspiration: Erica Mahinay
The more one gives in to the seeming unruliness of Erica Mahinay’s works, the more satisfying (and thought-provoking) the eventual resolution. This is not a show to be taken in quickly.
Layers of Existence: Michael McCaffrey
Michael McCaffrey built the works in his current show from the canvas up, first applying layers of paper and then moving in with the paint. The overall effect is a physical manifestation of the layers of memory and life experience that went into the paintings.
His Memory’s Shot (with a Camera): Patrick Andrew Adams
How can we hope to recount our histories to others with full accuracy, when we can’t even tell ourselves absolutely true stories? That’s the question posed by Patrick Andrew Adams’ photography show, “I Could Not Land A Plane,” which is on display this month at Plenum Art Space in the East Crossroads.
Freed from Walls: Monika Meler
Monika Meler’s prints reveal not only a wealth of color and line, but also a collection of repeating motifs both elusive and familiar. Consequently, seeing them carries an air of memory as well as of discovery.
The Open Spaces where Memories Live: Patti L. Krueger
If you want to see Patti L. Krueger’s new way of exploring negative space, you’ll have to call Blau Space early in the week. That’s the way things go when apartments double as galleries.
Thoughts on Thought: Amanda Turnbull
Largely bypassing organic factors in human behavior and perception, the provinces of neurology and psychiatry, Turnbull (who does touch on the physical effects of laughter in one piece) concentrates on the conceptual: Ideas, memory, personality and the like.
Art is a Thing with Feathers: Anne Gagel
Art which engages the brain as well as the eyes and heart is always a good thing … and depending on your repertoire of allusions, Anne Gagel’s current show of paintings, drawings and mixed media works should keep the mind hopping. Or, perhaps, “flitting” is a better word, given Gagel’s penchant for depicting birds of all sorts of feathers — or, more accurately, depicting herself as all sorts of birds.
