Vivian Pratt: "When Roots Resonate"
My studio overflows with nature’s debris: twigs, uprooted bushes, spent flowers and curled leaves. I photograph, carve, draw, and make prints in response to my collections. Out of this process emerge images combined with actual roots and branches, leaves and flowers.
My images and their source merge with each other as I search for a moment of resonance.
I am a mixed media artist creating many types of work, from computer modified images to hand carved sculptures made from found plant materials. I use a variety of media, exploring drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, video and photography while continually bringing images to the computer to modify, print and then combine again with other media.

Nancy Diessner: "In Lovely Blueness"
In Lovely Blueness is the first line of Friedrich Holderlin’s poem that inspired this work. Images of the living world around us—domestic animals, human bodies, wild beasts, plants of all kinds—are presented inside large paper pods hanging from the ceiling, the “lovely blueness” above.
The viewer navigates around and inside these pods, experiencing each of these worlds as a different kind of life, species distinct and often separate and isolated from each other.
And yet—in this exhibition—they sometimes merge together by a shared life force and a longing for connection to the other. The work in this exhibition explores the passion, the agony, the peace, the universality, and the individuality of longing and being longed for, and the need to find measure in this world.
