Adjoa Burrowes

Earth Sanctuary

Earth Sanctuary seeks to celebrate the natural world and the legacy of African American women gardeners in Virginia. In this exhibition of abstract works Burrowes explores vibrant color, texture, and rhythm in recent mixed media paintings on paper referencing botanicals found in local gardens.

Shelby Shadwell

EMERGENCY BLANKETS / VISCERAL

In EMERGENCY BLANKETS, Shadwell makes large scale charcoal and pastel drawings of space blankets (aka solar blankets, emergency blankets, thermal blankets, etc) which are made of a compact lightweight material used to regulate temperatures of things like spacecraft and human bodies in cold circumstances.

Te-Mao Lee

In-Between beings

In the exhibition In-Between beings, Te-Mao Lee contemplates the question of existence through a series of video works that gaze toward a future two thousand years from now. Along Taiwan’s east coast, tectonic forces have gradually uplifted ancient coastal settlements to elevated sites—prehistoric traces now suspended above sea level—revealing that ancient peoples once lived by the sea. This vertical dimension of spacetime prompts a descent 20 meters below today’s sea level, where the artist explores a yet-to-arrive mode of being through the materiality of seabed sand.

Taina Litwak

Life in the Anthropocene

Life in the Anthropocene features a room-sized graph of the volume of Global Plastic Production (1950-2040), assembled with discarded plastics collected largely from the artist’s household, her office, and her neighbors.
