SUMMARY:Five Points Gallery Artist Talk - 6/21
DESCRIPTION:There will be an in-person Artist Talk\, on Friday\, June 21\, at 6:30 pm. Moderated by Steven A. Holmes. \nFeaturing Artists: Robert Calafiore & Wayne Herpich.  \n(Artist Kate Borcherding of Texas\, is unable to participate due to distance) \n  \nWest Gallery – Robert Calafiore: “Obscura: Seeing Forward\, Looking Back” \nRobert Calafiore’s processed-based photographs\, combine an interest in traditional vs. alternative materials and the interactions of light and chemistry. Utilizing props and figures with his hand-built large-scale pinhole cameras\, Calafiore manipulates the developing photographs (without the use of digital tools) to control the results – altering saturation\, color\, density\, and translucency to create inverted depictions\, that elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary. Drawn to two main subjects: glassware and the male figure\, Calafiore constructs still-lives\, which embody his familial and personal relationships. Calafiore states\, “His work is about a pause\, a break in the pace\, and a longer look into\, through\, and across our everyday lives.” \n  \nTorrington Savings Bank Gallery – Wayne Herpich: “Western Figures” \nWayne Herpich’s figurative paintings and drawings are about form. His highly expressive and gestural handling of materials facilitates a psychological understanding of the presence and emotion tied to the figure\, granting the viewer just enough detail of form and familiarity. The painted figures depicted emerge from ominous settings\, while in contrast his drawn figures stand out and dominate the paper. It’s this play between abstract and representational artmaking that Herpich depicts in these ghostlike forms. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: February 23\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the upcoming in-person Artist Talk\, Moderated by Nancy Stuart.  \nFeaturing: David Holzman\, Susan Clinard\, Sarah Haviland\, Sue Mullaney\, Susan Rood\, Tammy Wofsey \n  \nEast Gallery:  Under the Arch: David Holzman \nDavid Holzman’s intricately carved sculptures combine figurative elements with forms inspired by world architecture and religious cultures\, notably seen in his Arch\, Tower\, and Reliquary works. Holzman also implements the practice of automatic drawing when creating these works\, quoting “My process is an uncontrolled fit\, eyes closed\, madly scribbling\, which leads to more drawing\, eyes open in an attempt to order chaos in a presentable way.” His paintings which will also be on display come from his new series “Terra Firma”\, which continues the automatic drawing approach\, by investigating the dynamic of a square format. As a whole\, Holzman’s work drives home the importance of narrative in human connections and what it means to be alive. \n\nThe West & TDP Galleries- Mind’s Eye \nSusan Clinard\, Sarah Haviland\, Sue Mullaney\, Susan Rood\, and Tammy Wofsey \nSusan Clinard’s figural assemblages embody elements of play\, experimentation\, and storytelling. Starting by sculpting detailed hands and faces in clay or resin\, Susan then incorporates found objects that range from everyday objects to antiquities and textiles. Clinard’s work emphasizes her sense of wonder when discovering how feelings become tied to an object’s form\, texture\, and compositions giving it a new meaning or narrative. \nSarah Haviland’s sculptures strike a balance between abstract form and human or avian identity. By combining stories from reality and mythology from around the world\, this series reflects connections in various cultures\, as well as contemporary societal and environmental issues. The linear and \nsemitransparent figures made from wire\, plastics\, wire mesh\, and other mixed media embody a sense of distilled emotion and archetypal presence. \nSue Mullaney’s ambiguous collage-based works rely on the viewer’s interaction and interpretations. All of the works tell stories but the narratives may not be wholly dependable\, interpretations often slip into a different reality or sur-reality. Mullaney states\, “I find it enjoyable to select conventional images from a wide variety of sources and mix and recast them in sometimes startling ways. Often that process leads to the creation of whole new worlds; surreal\, bizarre\, or whimsical. \nSusan Rood is a printmaker who holds a great interest in visual narratives and storytelling that relate to her life. Her compositions are flooded with multiple images that the viewer is tasked to make sense of simultaneously in a similar manner to comics\, graphic novels\, and advertising. Rood’s multipaneled linocut collages tell personal stories that are created with images designed to both reveal and conceal these narratives. \nTammy Wofsey’s tactile linocut and chine collé prints aim to contain the natural world on a single sheet of paper. This world-building visual storytelling depicts multiple cells that represent various aspects of the natural world. Wofsey states\, “My artwork tries to draw a human connection with our world and the slowing down of time. We are whole when we are connected to the soil and earth.”

SUMMARY:In-Person Artist Talk: December Exhibitions
DESCRIPTION:Join Five Points Gallery on Friday\, December 15\, from 6:30 – 7:30 PM for an in-person Artist Talk featuring the six artists currently on display. Moderated by Five Points Founder and Executive Director\, Judith McElhone.  \nPamela Bramble’s paintings based on the natural world are defined by her process of building up and excavating her surfaces until an emotional response is unlocked. Bramble removes and manipulates layers of colors\, marks\, and gestures until she can clearly understand what that painting is going to be about and works towards that idea. Bramble states\, “It is in the evolution of a painting where the residue of earlier activity on the surface maintains a presence that infuses and energizes subsequent layers of paint.  \nKim Sobel’s large paintings blend an organic and painterly sensibility that follows rhythms and patterns seen in the natural world around her. She infuses her own unique poetic language\, when talking about her work\, “Mixing paint is like pulling weeds and sculpting the garden like carving compositions. \nField of View: Susan Hackett\, Steven Holmes\, Caleb Portfolio\, Erika Gabriela Santos \nSusan Hackett’s “larger than life” photographs center around her unique process. Using a hand-held digital microscope and camera\, Hackett photographs some of the smallest details of the natural world\, things that often go unnoticed – revealing new perspectives\, color\, and lifeforms. \nSteven Holme’s approach to capturing the world around him is inspired by and named after Caspar David Friedrich\, whose 19th-century paintings of expansive romantic landscapes were featured with hints of human presence. \nCaleb Portfolio’s manipulation of photography begins in the darkroom\, he is inspired by the notion of capturing the movement of a fleeting moment in time. By working with water and light as his subjects\, Caleb focuses on the symbolic meanings – waster as a source of life or a vehicle of cleansing or regeneration. \nErika Gabriela Santos recycles scraps from various leftover projects\, Santos’ uniquely layered collages combine feelings of both frustration and affection in her series titled “De Lo Que Me Queda” or “Of What I Have Left Behind”. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk: Ellen Carey
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ricardo Reyes\, will be in conversation with Ellen Carey about her works featured in her ongoing exhibition at Five Points on Thursday\, August 24 at 6:30 PM. \nFree Registration Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_5OZHs_qdTIWK_V2GUVyp1w \nAbout Ellen Carey:\nCarey’s abstract and minimal photography purposely challenges our culturally and historically prescribed expectations around the photograph and its picture signs. Using only light\, wherever and whatever it strikes. The work intentionally upends traditional methods of “rendering” a photographic image with unusual approaches and combinations. Employing high-impact pictures of her inventive techniques and innovative methods she uses the photogram method\, made without a camera\, it is created in the darkroom; in color\, with no light (except upon exposure). \nAbout Dr. Ricardo Reyes:\nReyes is the Director of Galleries and Curator of Collections at Lafayette College\, Easton\, PA; he also oversees the activities of the Williams Center Gallery\, Grossman Gallery\, Kirby Art Study Center\, and Art on Campus. \nDr. Reyes (Rico) is an artist\, curator\, and cultural theorist whose 30-year experience has focused on expanding the conversation around art-making and exhibitions to be more inclusive and equitable. His art employs the idioms of performance\, video\, and installation while addressing issues of ethnicity\, sexuality\, and global politics. His curating is focused on elevating the voices of BIPOC and Queer artists; contemporary art from diasporic Filipino communities; photography and cultural regeneration; and has curated exhibitions at the Orange County Museum of Art\, UCLA Fowler Museum; and SF MoMA Artist Gallery. \nRico received his BA in Sculpture from the University of California at Berkeley and his MFA in New Genres from UCLA\, his Executive MBA from Quantic School of Business and Technology\, and his Ph.D. from the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths\, University of London.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk: Taplin\, Grady & Schroeder
DESCRIPTION:Register Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Q6V1yn8KRaO6kBB2hi20gg \nThe West Gallery features paintings by Bridget Grady that focus on the fragile ecologies of forests and swamps. The TDP Gallery highlights mixed media works by printmaker Kathleen Schroeder that highlight liminal spaces between art and science. Robert Taplin’s work in the East Gallery combines sculpture and photography in ways that address opposing concepts. \nFive Points West Gallery: Fragile Ecologies \nBridget Grady investigates sensitive ecological environments both representatively and abstractly in her forest and swamp paintings. Her maximalist approach to painting or replicating textures and colors blur the definitions and boundaries of space. These environments are in a constant state of change\, and it’s Grady’s belief that cultural attitudes have the greatest impact on the condition of the environment. Grady states\, “The work focuses on the connection of the psyche to nature and the translation of that experience through the perceptual process of painting.” \nFive Points TDP Gallery: Of Two Minds: Dancing Between Art and Science \nKathleen Schroeder combines chine collé with lithographs in this new series which addresses relationships between art and science. Focused on space that is in a transition or on a threshold between two points in time or space\, Schroeder’s work is informed by her studies of embryonic development and growth…. a liminal space in a constant state of flux. The minimalist graphic elements of line in the prints on exhibition speak to visual scientific data structures and graphs of this intangible space. \nFive Points East Gallery: Outscapes \nRobert Taplin’s work brings the familiar and strange into somewhat startling proximity. Taplin states\, “The role of the artist has been to expose the lie\, reveal the hidden agenda\, and break the dominant image. His relief sculptures and ghost boxes combine layered imagery that moves back and forth between the illusion and the reality of three dimensions; focusing on opposing\, yet entangled forces of modernity – the rational and the irrational\, and the political and the personal\, finding an equilibrium between these forces. \n

DESCRIPTION:Virtual Artist talk: Friday\, October 14\, at 6:30 PM \nClick here to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pQRYS-6zTqCTBHS7GIyksw \nModerator: TBA \n  \nFEATURED ARTISTS: \nVictor Leger\, is a realist painter whose Plein-air paintings capture the contrast between deep space and the high detail of the environment. His intention is to express with obsessive accuracy the natural beauty of our surroundings. \nNature Triumphs is a group exhibition that features a range of styles and mediums and is based on human interactions within the environment and how people interact with and ultimately manipulate\, interfere with\, or alter nature. Featuring artists Leora Armstrong\, Aaron Borkowski\, Loren Eiferman\, Lisa Kellner & Scott Schuldt. \nLeora Armstrong is an interdisciplinary artist whose mixed media works depict ice erasure\, a consequence of human interactions with the environment. This multi-paneled installation of cyanotype on silk creates a sensorial experience of place. \nAaron Borkowski’s abstract photography uses digital manipulations to duplicate and manipulate or alter the viewer’s perception of the natural world. \nLoren Eiferman’s sculptures portray the impact humans have had on the ecosystem. Her work also speaks to the primal desire to touch nature. \nLisa Kellner explores the reluctant yet habitual collaboration of humans and nature. Her large oil paintings reflect on perceptions of space\, not only its physical attributes but also its memories. Paired with small sculptures created out of paint and collected detritus. \nScott Schuldt is a multidisciplinary artist working with the environment and natural sciences. Intricately hand-beaded and hand-sewn\, the works in this exhibition document the environment and intellectually and emotionally explore the idea of wilderness and mankind’s often counter-productive relationship with nature.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk: Enfield\, Keefer & Rainwater
DESCRIPTION:Jill Enfield\, a fine art photographer\, educator\, curator and author has been teaching photography for many years with a concentration on historical techniques and alternative processes. The photographs in this exhibition embody a physical display of heritage\, genealogy\, and homeland. Using 19th century wet collodion ambrotypes with digital scanning and 21st century printing\, Enfield’s Glasshouse invites viewers to walk into a room covered with the faces of immigrants – reinforcing the harrowing and precarious nature of immigration itself. \nJane Rainwater’s installation work seeks to engage the viewer with its seemingly innocent decorative design\, yet upon closer examination\, the work challenges and questions our attraction by revealing darker truths. Rooted in the tradition of botanical and scientific illustration\, silhouettes of seemingly real plants and animals are in fact carefully constructed from silhouettes of weapons. \nJohn Keefer’s paintings are large\, dramatic\, and beautifully rendered metaphoric representations of the artist’s inner turmoil with the current social and political affairs from around the world. Keefer pessimistically states\,“My paintings are me being dragged kicking and screaming into a meaningless present.” The paintings depict overwhelming distress\, as ships and planes erupt in flames as muddled\, muted pallets of smoke become the focal point. The viewer begins to wonder who or what are on these ships? Is it a battle or an accident? \nThis virtual artist talk will be hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk: Kasey Ramirez\, Balam Soto & Mary Anne McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:Join Five Points Gallery on Friday\, July 8th at 6:30 PM for this Virtual Artist Talk and learn more about the artists and artwork from two of our three current exhibitions.\nClick Here to Register: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aiUuKC_lRPm4CWqEzLE-XQ\nModerated by Matthew Best. \nKasey Ramirez’s drawings and prints explore the tension between stability and impermanence. Ramirez states\, “In my drawings and prints\, buildings become a stand-in for humans\, a metaphor for man-made efforts to create shelters that are ultimately vulnerable to environmental extremes.” Ramirez’s charcoal drawings depict skeletal structures which contain a sense of rise and collapse\, of construction and disintegration that mirrors the precarious state in which humans find themselves in the twenty-first century. \nBalam Soto and Mary Anne McCarthy are both inspired by the Greek word dendrites\, which refers to trees found in nature and also to neurons in the human brain that resemble trees; however\, their approaches to artmaking are vastly different. McCarthy’s intricate silverpoint drawings of nature and trees highlight the everlasting power of traditional artmaking. Soto’s interactive cube sculpture uses video\, light\, and the effect of active human presence to celebrate art’s ever-changing capacity to influence how we think about ourselves and the world around us. \nGene Gort will not join the Live conversation but a prerecorded interview will be featured at some point during the talk.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: In Dialogue\, She Spoke Up & Armed\, Alarmed
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Artist talk on Friday\, June 3\, 6:30 p.m.\, moderated by Matthew Best\nFive Points Gallery \n  \nFREE VIA ZOOM  \nClick here to register: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_7dSCp_HJQMWf-JAFCEBQrA  \nModerator: Matthew Best  \nHartford\, CT-based artist Matthew Best received his BFA in Painting from the University Of Hartford Art School and his MFA in Painting from the University of Massachusetts Amherst working primarily in oil paint. He has exhibited in numerous local\, national\, and international shows. Best has taught at various colleges and universities in CT\, MA & VA. \n  \nEAST GALLERY: \nMargaret Roelke’s work explores sensationalism\, consumerism\, contradictions and the relationships that develop when popular culture mixes with war and religion. The exhibition Armed\, Alarmed is composed of two bodies of work that call for dialogue in urgent response to these concerns. Living near Sandy Hook Elementary School\, the site of a 2012 mass shooting\, Roelke was inspired to create sculptures made out of shotgun shells to raise awareness of gun violence and gun control. Roelke’s cyanotype images in this exhibition are attributed to the violent insurrection at the nation’s capital and the subject of peaceful versus violent protest. A percentage of all Margaret Roelke’s sales will be donated to organizations that work for gun control. \n  \nTDP GALLERY: \nLinda Pearlman Karlsberg’s charcoal drawings celebrate exceptional women\, who have addressed inequities across society and wrought change through their work\, and encourage viewers to contemplate better possibilities for all our futures. Birds paired with each portrait symbolically embody their spirit. \n  \nWEST GALLERY: \nThe group exhibition In Dialogue features a spectrum of social justice issues such as economics\, politics\, gun and war violence. Participating artists include Jacob Cullers\, Jason Montgomery and Rita Valley \nJacob Cullers \nThe imagery in Cullers’ mixed media paintings and sculpture refer to acts of violence that have occurred in America by white males. Using color to try to match the violence seems virtually impossible so Cullers often cuts into the paintings to try to convey the trauma. The artist’s use of found materials\, recognizable images and paint encourages the viewer to consider these issues in ways words alone cannot do.  Cullers’ states “I want to show the surface as a symbol of the history and the brutality of the American white male\, through the scope of conceptual painting.”  Cullers served in the United States Air Force and is an Iraq war veteran. \nJason Montgomery \nMontgomery’s work in this series he titled [de]RANGE seeks to draw attention to gun violence during the month of June 2021. These collaged based works act to engage and highlight the facts and potential solutions to the gun violence epidemic in the US. As an artist\, gun owner and a survivor of gun violence JRM fully recognizes the complexity of the issue and how deeply rooted it is in our culture. His writing and visual art bridge the aesthetics and feel of the early cubist collage movement and the Russian abstract movement of the 1920s. \nRita Valley \nValley is a textile-based artist whose work is fueled by her fascination with politics and social issues. Valley hand sews and embroiders bold statements dealing with issues of economics\, income disparity\, body image\, politics. The physical expression and labor in these pieces refer back to “women’s work” even as her subject matter addresses current topics that affect us all.  Bob Keating often collaborates with Valley by designing and forging hardware and accents for her finished work. \n  \nGallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday\, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.\, Sunday\, 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.\, and by appointment (860-618-7222).

SUMMARY:Real and Imagined Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Five Points Gallery invites you to a virtual artist talk featuring the five artists from “Real & Imagined”\, a group exhibition in the West\, and TDP Galleries.\nREGISTER HERE\nModerated by: Tracy Collamore \nTracy Collamore is a CT still-life painter and an Artist Member of First Street Gallery in New York City\, serving as President on the Board of Directors.  Selected solo exhibitions include First Street Gallery\, Five Points Gallery\, EBK Gallery\, UConn Stamford Art Gallery\, and ArtSpace Gallery.  Collamore has been selected for juried exhibitions by Elsa Jensen (Blue Mountain Gallery\, NYC)\, Philip Pearlstein (Gallery North\, Setauket\, NY)\, Rackstraw Downes (Bowery Gallery\, NYC)\, and Richard Klein (Aldrich Museum).  Select group and invitational exhibitions include the Mattatuck Museum\, Blue Mountain Gallery\, Art Essex Gallery\, Attleboro Arts Museum\, and Washington Art Association.  Collamore earned an MFA in Painting from Western Connecticut State University in 2009\, with selected resident and visiting faculty including Margaret Grimes\, Marjorie Portnow\, Ruth Miller\, Susanna Coffey\, Barbara Grossman\, and Stanley Lewis.  She has attended several Artist Workshops\, the latest at the Ballinglen Arts Foundation in Ballycastle\, Ireland with Catherine Kehoe in 2019.  She is the Program Chair of Art at Post University in Waterbury\, CT. \n(Mark Rich is\, unfortunately\, unable to participate) \nReal & Imagined explores dualities in the relationships of patterns and colors from the natural and imagined worlds. \nTamara Dimitri’s work speaks to the variations in the environments she’s lived in throughout her life. Creating organic branch-like sculptures\, maintaining an awareness of the human footprint on our land\, water systems\, and atmosphere. \nNancy Hayes creates intricately painted imagined worlds. Hayes’ highly organized imagined ecosystems are dependent on how her brain organizes space\, pattern\, color\, and form. \nSusan Sharp’s assemblage series is comprised of panels utilizing different sizes\, colors\, and in some cases different depths and shapes. Both organic and geometric forms coexist in a world that is in continuous motion. Color\, both intense and muted\, as well as linear elements\, weave in and out of the panels. \nLisa Warren’s Galaxy Garden paintings include abstract and representational elements. Her use of shape\, color\, and mark-making emphasize the emotional communication we all encounter in our own heads when exploring the world and our relationships with it. \nJoan Wheeler’s work creates conversations about humans and their relationship with the environment throughout history and the present day. Focusing on flora and fauna\, and the hybridization between the two.

SUMMARY:Wonderfully Tactile Zoom Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nWonderfully Tactile\, an exhibition in all three gallery spaces\, featuring eight artists from across the state and region. The surfaces in this exhibition allude to the human haptic and optic senses. \nModerated by Ricardo Reyes. \nRIco is an artist\, a curator\, and a cultural theorist. His art employs the idioms of performance\, video\, and installation while addressing issues of ethnicity\, sexuality\, global politics\, and capitalist exploitation. His curating is focused on contemporary art from diasporic Filipino communities; mega-exhibitions and art fairs; photography and cultural regeneration\, and has curated exhibitions at UCLA Fowler Museum; SF MOMA Artist Gallery; University of the Pacific Reynolds Gallery; Thacher Gallery at the University of San Francisco; Queer Cultural Center; Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center; SoMA Arts Center; and Michaela Gallery\, Remy’s at Temple Gallery\, Los Angeles; Puro Arte Gallery and Performance Space\, Los Angeles. \nRico received his BA in Sculpture from UC Berkeley and his MFA in New Genres from UCLA\, and his PhD from the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths\, University of London.

Focusing on color relationships\, surface\, seriality\, and the psychology of visual perception. \nJohn Ralston V’s work accelerates and embellishes natural forms of accumulation and erosion. \nDebra Weisberg’s mixed media monotype prints are inspired by the natural world ranging from organic roots and volcanic geologies. \nMargaret Wilson’s painterly surfaces reveal figures from a blue color field\, divulging a moment of unexpected amusement or disturbance.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Bob Chaplin\, Susan Hoffman Fishman & Jennifer Sabella
DESCRIPTION:Join Five Points for a Virtual Artist Talk featuring artists Bob Chaplin\, Susan Hoffman Fishman & Jennifer Sabella on Friday\, December 03\, at 6:00PM. \n  \nModerated by artist Jessica Fallis. \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nThe talk will give viewers a deeper look into the artists’ exhibitions\, their artistic process and general background in the arts. \n  \nBob Chaplin’s exhibition “Hortophilia” consists of concept drawings of his Woodland-Meadow Parterre installation on the grounds of Five Points Art Center in Torrington\, CT among other Parterre installations across the globe. Chaplin hopes to inspire a dialogue about the apparent chaos of nature and man’s preoccupation with trying to structure and tame the natural world. \n  \nSusan Hoffman Fishman’s paintings represent an abstract and liberal interpretation of what scientists have determined actually happened at the creation of the planet and for the billions of years that followed. The installation of 39 paintings on paper each measuring 30 inches by 15 inches are shown together as a running narrative that wraps the gallery walls. \n  \nJennifer Sabella’s exhibition consists of two bodies of work\, drip and landscape paintings. The vibrant drips or color stream paintings layer hues of gravity-driven paint in these large format\, striped paintings which vibrate with intensity. Her landscape paintings\, on the other hand\, are created through multiple layers of give and take; paint is excavated as she scrapes into the surfaces creating highly texturized\, rich surfaces imbuing an energy or life. \n  \nJessica Fallis is a Torrington\, CT based artist\, educator\, and writer. Her work explores themes related to the environment\, time\, and memory. Her work has been displayed throughout Connecticut\, including the New Britain Museum of American Art\, Five Points Gallery\, The Mystic Museum of Art\, and the West Hartford Art League. She is currently a member of the Five Points Launchpad in Torrington\, CT. Jessica is also a full time art teacher in West Hartford.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk: Richter & Morris
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Artist Talk on Friday\, October 22nd\, at 6:00PM EST \nRegister for free at the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-R7wORUqQjyv7aXrhwle-A \nModerated by Power Boothe. Power Boothe has exhibited his paintings for over four decades. His work is represented in numerous public and private collections and he teaches at the Hartford Art School. \nThe East Gallery features mixed media works by Scott Richter\, in his exhibition “A Melody of Things Unrelated” groups works from multiple series emphasizing the artist’s layered and thoughtful approach to process. The Sculptural works within this show are actually considered to be paintings in the artist’s mind. They are pieces are about painting – the process and its material\, yet avoiding the final product and its related aesthetics. Each piece comments on the repetitive nature of the painting process – building mountains of paint showing the layers and history of the process. Richter’s two dimensional work also speaks to the methodology of process by layering\, burying and revealing surfaces. \nSydney Morris’ solo exhibition “Nova”\, will exhibit her alternative process photographs in the TDP Gallery. The alternative processed photos are printed on cloth and presented in embroidery hoops – as a metaphor for the stars in the night sky. Morris notes that these pieces are unique in the fact that they are ever changing. Much like a nova\, their colors may change\, become brighter\, or slowly fade over time. The forms created in these pieces mirror celestial events through photographic alchemy to produce fluid\, saturated pieces infused with meaning.

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talk - Remembering Ground Zero: 20th Anniversary Show
DESCRIPTION:Remembering Ground Zero: 20th Anniversary Show is a retrospective exhibition that remembers September 11th through paintings and artwork that recall both the time before the towers’ fall—the halcyon days that documented a moment in time of clouds dancing across the sky over the city below in all its variations of form and light—and the collective shock and pain of the aftermath of the fall\, when the world tilted on its axis and a new sort of chaos emerged.  \n  \nRegister Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_9fgoESXsS4CSXvBEkHAGcw
