Hold Your Breath 21 Jan - 25 Feb 2017 The black and white photographs in Hold Your Breath are rooted in the history of the constructed photograph.

Kelly Berg
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.

Rebeca Puga
New Paintings 10 Sep - 15 Oct 2016 The paintings of Chilean-born artist Rebeca Puga are based on her investigations into how we see and experience the space that surrounds us and how that parallels our consciousness and perception of time.

As representations of the work one should be willing to do on... Read more -
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. Giant skeleton keys dangle from robust and seamless chains that appear deceitfully indestructible. And dozens of pyramidal shapes stretch across the walls in a rhythmic flourish that... Read more
