ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS:
Emily Campbell is intrigued by the ways in which remote, precarious, or claustrophobic environments could influence and shape an outlier’s thoughts and actions. "Outliers" presents an installation of small gouache paintings and colorful ceramic sculptures that depict imagined landscapes populated by groups of fictional figures, often female. Each work describes an individual’s relationship, interactions, and experiences with their surrounding environment–scenes of ritual and hedonism, quiet moments where traditional hierarchies are suspended.
Stephanie Garmey creates imagery inspired by her collection of natural objects, materials, and taxidermy animals. Her meditations on nature use a variety of media approaches: constructions and installations, book arts, painting, cut paper, embroidery, encaustics, wood, glass, drawing, and light. In "Pathways", Garmey creates tableaus of animals’ habitats from around the globe, inspired by these animals’ instinctual flow with the balance of their ecosystem, reminding of our ancient roots in positive and fruitful acknowledgement of animal power and coexistence.
