BENEATH THE SURFACE: Spirituality in Art
BENEATH THE SURFACE: Spirituality in Art
Curator: Indira Johnson
Opening Reception: Friday, October 4, 5-8pm
There is something deeper than what we see. Energetic undercurrents of power, violence and love. Undercurrents as unpredictable as they are unexamined in mainstream culture. This ebb and flow can push an individual to feelings of intense passion, inspire the greatest works of art the world has seen, and cause abrupt changes in the course of world history.
Let us put a spotlight on the unspoken energy flow operating beneath the surface of our daily life. Let us examine the invisible threads present in a crowd of people that hold our current culture in a stasis of perpetuation.
This show is a subtle examination of energy and spirituality through art. Through this exhibition, we hope to shine a light on the depth of the human condition to inspire greater spiritual awareness and empathy within this historical time.
Lee Stanton
Lee Stanton: OUT OF THE BLUE Opening Reception Fri. Sept 8, 5-8pm
White on blue. A line. An identifiable path created by a point moving in space. Look up! Lines, a trail of condensed water from an aircraft at high altitude, a white streak across the sky. Intangible, the sky has no surface; it cannot be turned into a thing or given a quantity. It may represent infinity, eternity, immortality, transcendence, or simply inspiration. As the traditional residence of gods and goddesses the sky may suggest omnipotence. The sky may also be symbolic of order in the universe. How might our interference with the environment alter these responses, drawing lines across the vista. In this series, views of land or anything else which might help to suggest scale or orientation is decidedly absent, excluded, and kept to a minimum. Infinite possibilities.
Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams: RETROSPECTIVE: A Journey Through Time Opening Reception Fri. Sept 8, 5-8pm
This show spans over 30 years of my beaded sculptures. Before bead art, I worked with tapestry, weaving, baskets, embroidery and crochet. In 1989, on a trip to Jamaica, I began exploring bead art using basic couching techniques and the human form. The first in that series, I called “First in Series.” My sculptures have won prizes and been featured in several Bead Art books.

Dilek A Bishku
Dilek A Bishku
Opening Reception Fri. Oct 27, 5-8pm
"REVISITATIONS" is a collection of watercolor and ink mixed media that weaves together fragments of cherished memories of my childhood in Turkey. I enjoy placing quirky characters in colorful landscapes from my past and watching instant narratives come to life. Whether the result aligns with my initial vision or sparks new stories in viewers' minds, my aim remains the same: to invite others into this whimsical universe, evoking their own treasured moments and leaving them with a sense of happiness and nostalgia.
Growing Up Now
