Collateral Damage Snezana Saraswati Petrovic July 6, 2019 - August 18, 2019 “Collateral Damage” by Snezana Saraswati Petrovic “Collateral Damage” by Snezana Saraswati Petrovic “Collateral Damage” by Snezana Saraswati Petrovic “Collateral Damage” by Snezana Saraswati Petrovic 1/7 Collateral Damage “collateral damage n. : injury inflicted on something other than an intended target; specif : civilian casualties of a military operation” -Merriam-Webster Dictionary "Collateral Damage is an immersive installation that speaks of the damage and harm in nature that we, humans, are causing unintentionally. As the gardeners of our environment and lives, we need to become aware of our destiny, while sharing the responsibility and love for nature and all life as an indivisible global network that needs sunlight, air and water to continue its survival. The impermanence of our own existence is immersed and inseparable from this blue island, in the black lonely universe. The immersive and interactive aspects of the installations intend to bring an awareness to the warning signs of unintended destruction of the ocean, coral reefs and water resources via playful interactions with different kinds of beauty, set up in a possible post-apocalyptic plastic-fantastic-future." -Snezana Saraswati Petrovic Back to All Exhibitions

Sensory Perceptions Melissa Reischman December 2, 2023 - January 21, 2024 Delft Gestures Melissa Reischman, Delft Gestures, 2023, Oil on Canvas Better Days Melissa Reischman, Better Days, 2020, Oil on aluminum panel Spiral Vortex Melissa Reischman, Spiral Vortex, 2019, Charcoal on paper Delft Gestures Melissa Reischman, Delft Gestures, 2023, Oil on Canvas 1/4 Artist Talk | Saturday, January 13 from 12:30PM-2:00PM Featuring Melissa Reischman and moderated by art historian Betty Ann Brown with poetry recital by Cindy Rinne. Artist Melissa Reischman's body of work explores the dichotomy between light and dark in her two-dimensional abstractions of nature. Reischman explores the psychological and esitential states of being through visual metaphor. Through contrasting elements, Reischman scales through different emotional states to capture her internal and external world. From charcoal, oil paint, paper, panels, and canvas her abstractions investigate astmosphere and form. The images seen throughout her pieces are inspired by her encounters with the natural world, memories, and personal mythologies. For Reischman, some of her works are deeply autobiographical, often reflecting her feelings and reactions in a particular moment of time. Back to All Exhibitions
