First Thursday Opening: Jul 6, 5 - 9 PM
In-Person Artist Talk: Sat, Jul 8, 2 PM
Rebecca Marimutu’s exhibition, Portraits, Adhered, strives to challenge conventional notions of photography, disrupt material hierarchies, and explore the depths of self-examination. Through this creative exploration, Marimutu uncovers new possibilities for expression, blurring the lines between mediums and expanding the horizons of photography and sculpture. By examining the image of herself as a landscape for abstraction and deconstruction, she invites viewers to embark on a journey of introspection and contemplation.

Jul 6 - Aug 12, 2023
First Thursday Opening: Jul 6, 5 - 9 PM
Zoom Artist Talk: Wed, Jul 12, 12 PM (PT)
Photographer Erik Östensson is known for his surrealistic, deceptively simple, and unique pictorial compositions. His poetically performative images reveal an emotional interplay in the depiction of the interaction between people, objects, and landscapes. Everything appears to be interconnected in harmonious coexistence, whereby new relationships in materials and form develop. Östensson encourages the viewer to discard learned habits of seeing and to look with the eyes of a child, who has only just begun to discover the world. Past notions are superseded, and the meaning of known objects expanded.
