Monika Mayer’s sculptures (right image) use repetitive forms to echo the rhythms of traditional crafts, evoking a simple, meditative reverie. By working with ordinary familiar materials in unexpected ways, she highlights their potential for reflection and balance through the organic unfolding of intentional handiwork.
Tara Esperanza’s love affair with succulents (center image) invites us to relish their fleshy resilience. Her almost hallucinatory use of hyper-real color reveals that life holds more depth when we stop to take a breath, feel with our eyes, and see with our entire being.
Laura Malone's pieces, (left image) abstracted figures and spaces, flux and flow between the reverent and the irreverent, humor and awe. The figures emerge from and melt into the natural world – its primordial vastness and undulating specificity. As if to say, “come on in, the water’s fine,” they invite us to surrender to nature’s limitless rhythmicality.
