Opening Reception – Rhythms and Reveries

February 8 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Free

Rhythms and Reveries is the work of three Mercury 20 artists celebrating the interconnectedness of the natural world and human consciousness.

Tara Esperanza’s love affair with succulents invites us to relish their fleshy resilience. Her almost hallucinatory use of hyperreal color reveals that life holds more depth when we stop to take a breath, feel with our eyes, and see with our entire being.

Monika Mayer’s sculptures 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.

Laura Malone’s abstracted figures and spaces flux and flow between the reverent and the irreverent, humor and awe. Her 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.
