Spiritual Crossing: Reach & Embrace

March 3 – 31

Artwork on view by Lucy H. West

Opening Reception: March 3, Friday 6-9PM

Gallery Hours: Wednesdays 6-8PM, Sundays 12-3PM

Curated by Morgan Lloyd and Nile Overton

Spiritual Crossing: Reach & Embrace is a solo exhibition comprised of mixed media canvas paintings, works on paper, and installation art by Lucy H. West. The expressive body of work wavers between abstraction and representation to convey the connections between our physical and inner worlds, inspired by the universal experience of new beginnings and finding peace within personal growth. The show’s themes are healing, self-love, emotion, growth, meditation, and taking conscious action to connect with and know oneself. West encourages her audience to interpret her work freely and connect with others in the same space by considering the multiplicity of diverse perspectives. Cultivating a judgment-free community space is also a prominent theme in the exhibition.

Archive Show Closing Reception w/ Fleegix and Happiness #5 !

Closing Recepton Flyer

AND, if that wasn’t enough, we are very excited to ALSO be hosting :

FLEEGIX (2019, dir. by Matthew Thurber)
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1209343473/fleegix
Shot on 16mm film, Matthew Thurber’s FLEEGIX is a science-fiction film set on Earth, although some of the population have become convinced that they are in fact living on the planet Mars.
FLEEGIX includes both live action, stop motion and hand drawn animated segments. The appearance of animation in the narrative is to illustrate propaganda, such as depictions of newsworthy events on Mars. This film is an organism that grows and continues to develop a web of connected motifs and ideas. FLEEGIX is constructed through the accumulation of short scenes that echo and lead into each other, making connections across time and space. It is a a “Fairy story” whose construction resembles a role-playing game, rather than a simulation of standard motion picture narrative. At the heart of the film is the question as to how Fleegix, a beverage enjoyed by Martians, is manufactured. The film details further conflict among New York Martians who express themselves in animated movement, and the Hand Shadow Punks of Baltimore, who represent a pre-cinematic faction. The film proposes various absurd answers to this question, and the dispute takes on symbolic and mythological proportions.
