RHYTHMIC DUALITY
On View November 7 - January 9
In RHYTHMIC DUALITY, six artists navigate the shifting boundaries between intention and intuition, permanence and change. Through imagined landscapes, fragmented shadows, intuitive journeys, and undulating forms, each artist gives shape to experiences of discovery. Together, their works consider what happens when we loosen our grip on the known to find beauty, meaning, and possibility in the balance between directing our experience and allowing it to unfold.
CAPRICE PIERUCCI
CAPRICE PIERUCCI creates linear structures whose undulating rhythms speak to mortality and the vast expanses of time that culminate in a single moment of beauty. Sensual in form yet contemplative in nature, her work considers the fleeting nature of experience while creating space to reflect on what endures.
MELANA BONTRAGER
MELANA BONTRAGER uses landscape as metaphor, exploring universal yet vulnerable aspects of human experience. Twisting geometric curves evoke thought processes and inner dialogue, while rock formations balance in precarious and mercurial arrangements, revealing emotions both overt and hidden. Her work is both biography and invitation, creating intimate spaces for consideration, conversation, and contemplation.
ELAINE COOMBS
In her “Sky” series, ELAINE COOMBS looks to nature as a place of optimism, spiritual connection, and return to center. Inspired by shifting cloud patterns and the colors of golden hour, she pairs softly reflective metallic backgrounds with rhythmic, meticulously applied palette-knife marks. The resulting ethereal skies conjure both a physical landscape and a peaceful psychological space — an uplifting vision of the artist’s ideal inner state made manifest.
DEIDRE ADAMS
DEIDRE ADAMS began “Invented Journeys: Travel Diaries” during a time when travel could exist only through imagination. Combining drawing and painting with fragments of maps, letters, ticket stubs, and other ephemera, she constructs imagined journeys through an intuitive process of layering and mark-making. Nothing is planned in advance; each element responds to the last, allowing uncertainty itself to guide the work. Within that unpredictable process, Adams finds a small measure of agency amid the chaos of the larger world.
