East Gallery: “Family Stories”, by Hannah Koeske
These drawings and paintings were mostly made within the last 2-3 years. They are new work, related to older pieces, but representing periods when I was trying new things in addition to building on existing practice. They reflect the challenges of integrating into a new life, and processing the present in light of the past, which has trauma, love, and preoccupations that cast a long shadow. Related themes, which currently enter my work, include childhood trauma, grief, love, and development of a present by integrating dark and high, dark and light. They explore what is in the space between imagination and realism.

West Gallery: “Now We May Begin”, Margot Casstevens
This show is a call for stewardship and a moment of calm in the whirlwind that is our current social-political sh*tshow. The exhibit will feature video projected onto porcelain panels surrounded by myriad porcelain cups/stones/water.
