Earth | Fire | Form
Lisa Battle
Earth and fire are primal elements that have sustained and shaped human life for millennia. This exhibition celebrates the forces of nature, and in particular the transformative power of fire, through a unique collection of curvilinear ceramic sculptures that explore sensual movement and form. Unlike traditional ceramics, most of these objects eschew functionality. The works include sculptures in the round that undulate like dancers, defying gravity, as well as sculptures suspended on the wall with organic, free-flowing curves. Through their tension between solidity and weightlessness, lines and curves, they explore the cyclical nature of existence and our relationship to the forces of the natural world.

NOTHING IS THE SAME
Kathryn Camicia
I have created paintings of islands, some imaginary and some real. Each represents a state of being that shows its idiosyncrasies and uniqueness, like people.
This past year of isolation produced states of being that, for better or worse, we must carry with us into the future. Visualization of these states leads me to islands (the root of the word isolate is the Latin word insula, meaning island).
Now we are entering another state where we combine the past with the conditions of the present. What that may be is not yet clear except that nothing is the same.
