FLORA AND FAUNA mixed media
Opening Reception Sunday, January 15, 2-5pm
In her mixed media paintings, Flora & Fauna, Sari Maxfield mimics nature's simple yet complex forms and compositions but produces her own layered hybrid. She combines seemingly disparate found images into mysterious kaleidoscopic compositions. Acknowledging the associations of mandalas, rose windows and other circular shapes as symbols of creation and destruction, as well as of order and harmony, she cross-breeds the strange with the commonplace, making the new unity suspend somewhere between the mundane and the sacred.
Ghosh and Klimek

RESIDUES photography and video
Opening Reception Sunday, January 15, 2-5pm
The works in the show, Residues, explore the historical and imaginative elements of residual landscapes. The images observe 'landscapes' focusing on the complex historical traditions and cultural assumptions that shape their perception. While Klimek's photographs examine former mining sites of N.E. Pennsylvania, Ghosh's videos and installations reconsider familiar landscapes as sites that blur the complex history of a 'place' with its multi-layered present.
Jungmin Park
1/4/2012 to 1/29/2012
THE CITY STORIES mixed media
Opening Reception Sunday, January 15, 2-5pm
In her exhibit, The City Stories, Jungmin Park recreates what may be called "imaginations" by observing and experiencing the relationships between cities, nature and people. The works suggest bits of the future inspired by shapes and colors using diverse angles and perspectives. Urban and natural artifacts are combined, manipulated, trimmed, folded, reassembled and suspended, creating surreal and distorted cityscapes.
