Divergent Earth 22 Oct - 3 Dec 2016 Her work captures moments of rupture where tectonic plates converge, mountain ranges lurch forth and volcanoes erupt spewing molten lava and ash.

ELIZABETH ORLEANS : GIANT STEPS
14 May - 2 Jul 2016 Monochromatic ladders glazed in crisp whites, fleshy peaches and glossy bronze, lean casually against the walls, teasing the viewer with their apparent functionality.
