Exhibitions
The second cutting yields the finer growth a field gives up once it's been worked, then seen again. In Second Cutting Rachael Catharine Anderson, Ryan Steadman, and Annika Tucksmith work rural ground the same way, revisiting the familiar to unearth the unseen.
Strawberry Moon, named for June’s first full moon and the wild strawberry harvest, presents recent work by Christy Gast, Fabienne Lasserre, Halsey Rodman, and Molly Smith, exploring bodies, landscape, desire, and the scales of time.
Vernal
Vernal explores how artists return to the natural world as a site where memory, meaning, and material change converge. Featuring work by eleven artists, the exhibition asks us to reconsider the landscape in this moment of climate disruption, where reverence and reckoning coexist.
A Duet of
Sacred Geometry
Complementary exhibitions by Grace DeGennaro explore the forms thought to shape humanity's enduring quest for meaning and understanding.
Grace DeGennaro's abstract paintings draw from ancient traditions and natural mathematical sequences to examine the essence of time. Through harmonious compositions and a slow, intentional process, DeGennaro invites viewers into stillness and contemplation.
Grace DeGennaro explores the sacred geometric forms believed by Plato to be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The series contemplates timelessness, universal forms of order, and the luminous possibilities of color.
Body / Body / Body
Body / Body / Body offers an intimate counterpoint to an age of control: works that reclaim the body as a site of autonomy, performance, pleasure, and lived experience. Artists Jamie Isenstein, Fabienne Lasserre, and Sophy Naess reflect upon bodies through the lenses of feminism, humor, and imagination.
Joseph Minek's unconventional, camera-less practice upends traditional photochemical processes, creating vibrant compositions that provoke a conversation about the very nature of photography.
The first presentation of Fabienne Lasserre's category-defying Pitchables series blends painting and sculpture to explore feminism, humor, touch, and the body.
This is what we’re seeing at this moment. This is important.
We don’t want people to forget this moment.

Final Warning
With luminous sculptures, intricate prints, and intimate drawings, Stephen Hendee explores virtual and physical spaces and mines technology's dark potential.
Wild Order
In Sophy Naess’s botanical paintings, flowers refuse stillness—they twist and turn, stretch and tremble, unfurling in states of near-animation.
A quiet choreography unfolds across her studies of anemones, poppies, and tulips, where gestural looseness contends with formal precision. Suspended between figuration and abstraction, her compositions reveal a deeper inquiry into both the architecture of the picture plane and the ephemeral nature of time.
