Gayla Lemke    Light and Dark: Circadian Rhythms
“As Night Flows into Day”

As we move into the darker days of winter, the importance of light and of embracing the contrast inherent in life becomes more apparent. Yin and yang, light and dark, sorrow and joy…the balance of opposites…internal rhythms and universal rhythms…these are the things that inspired this work.

Mark Ferrell    Unsolved Mysteries
“Plague Effigy” 2021 Oil Paint on Canvas 48’’ X 60”

My show is titled ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ because I’m a fan of the show, but it also is a good description of my paintings. This isn’t to say that I think these paintings are unresolved- on the contrary, I scrutinized these paintings quite a bit. Like the TV show, though, my works (based on photographs of the suburbs I grew up in) are both reflective of reality, but also reference the supernatural. I think this illustrates what I prefer painting to be, a dichotomy between drawing from what we see while acknowledging the spiritual trail left by an artists’ hand (what some would call sense of touch). These paintings are also a form of wish fulfillment, taking my sometimes isolated environment and adding what I wish to see in them.

Travis Vermilye  Sporangia
“Hemitrichia Calyculata”

The natural world and a lifelong attraction to the beauty and wonder of tiny life forms viewed through a magnification lens inspire my work. Through digital composite images and short animated film, I aim to capture the wondrous joy of childlike discovery and exploration of the natural world and present this, best that I can, as it appears in my memory and imagination. The pieces exhibited here draw inspiration, sometimes very directly, from the fantastically surreal forms found in the fruiting bodies of molds and slime molds.
