SUMMARY:Five Points Gallery Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk\nFriday\, May 29\, 2026 \n6:30 – 8 PM\nat Five Points Gallery\nFree and open to all\, doors open at 6 PM\, light refreshments provided \n  \nModerated by Susan B. Finnegan \nThis Artist Talk will feature: Stephanie Lanter\, Cynthia Cooper\, Nancy Hayes\, Brian Kaspr\, and Helen Kauder  \n(Hugh O’Donnell who is also exhibiting\, will not be in attendance) \n  \nAbout the Artists: \nMixed Messages – Torrington Savings Bank Gallery \nStephanie Lanter’s ceramic and mixed-media works explore modes of communication\, language\, and emotion. Using unconventional manipulations of clay\, Lanter extrudes spaghetti-like forms that reference messages that are warped\, broken\, and reconfigured\, reaching a level below – or beyond – language. The visually represented language attempts to embody and expand phrases that resonate on both personal and socio-political levels. In conjunction with her other works\, Lanter’s new mixed-media series\, the Fearshare Project\, documents public fears. Lanter states\, “Wielding fear to unify rather than divide – to build rather than break down – is a powerful exercise in empathy. As many of the shared fears now become reality\, I look forward to wrestling with this project with both the urgency and agency it requires.” \nMind\, Heart & Body – West Gallery \nThis group exhibition pairs artists working through various forms of abstraction while playing with Layering\, space\, pattern\, and color.  \n  \nCynthia Cooper uses pattern\, repetition\, and mathematics to create immersive works of art. Embracing contradictions\, Cooper paints linear and curved lines along ordered systems that\, in addition to randomness\, contrast stillness with motion to form compositions that vibrate with tension. Her recent works on shaped canvas are inspired by the forms\, color\, and graphic motifs of insects\, notably referencing the natural patterns revealed in dragonfly wings. \nNancy Hayes creates kaleidoscopic abstractions built from shifting patterns\, shape\, and color to express concepts rooted in both the physical and spiritual realms. Each painted element influences the next as she pieces these works together\, much like building a puzzle. Hayes states\, “As a writer does\, I am building my own characters\, their personalities\, and the context in which they live. Just as a reader injects their own personal knowledge into a story\, enriching the plot\, my objective is to allow the viewer to explore their own visual narrative\, enhancing the forms with their own imagination.” \nBrian Kaspr investigates abstraction through typography\, lettering\, collage\, and material exploration. The structure of words\, letters\, and language creates a framework to explore color\, texture\, and pattern. Letter fragments and negative spaces provide a familiarity that grounds the energetic and vibrant work. Kaspr states\, “My artistic work has evolved from my time as a sign painter and designer. What originally drew me to sign painting and lettering was the craft and the look and feel of letterforms. Words and language are fascinating\, but rather than convey a message\, the letterforms are utilized as a means of mark making.” \nHelen Kauder is a collage artist whose work aims to fashion new forms of dialogue between the past and present. Kauder incorporates elements from art history to convey representations of power and privilege through various juxtapositions. Cutting\, stenciling\, and carving of negative space\, she layers new stories onto old objects. She also utilizes the recognizable Isometric Helix (aka French Curves) as a visual metaphor to bridge the past and present. Kauder states\, “I contemplate the thoughts and aspirations of the makers and subjects being represented\, the excesses\, wars\, and destruction that their cultures occasioned\, and the potential futures that might be written arising from repatriation\, restitution\, and repair. My collages propose new truths\, complicate notions of means and ends\, and anticipate new narratives.”

DESCRIPTION:Instructor: MaryPat Leger\nSaturday\, May 9\, 2026\n9:00 AM – 4:00 PM\nMembers: $126 / Non-Members: $140\n  \nThe “Carpenter’s Star” is a great pattern to get a new quilter going!

The new quilter not only masters the HST\, but creates a stunning quilt that they will be very proud of completing. \nMORE INFO & REGISTER
