Treasures of Our Local Watersheds: A Juried Exhibit of Quilts by SAQA Ohio
The artworks in this exhibition offer a thoughtful and nuanced reflection on the vital role of watersheds within our ecological systems. Each artist was invited to engage with the unique characteristics of their local watershed—its rhythms, histories, and vulnerabilities—and to respond through visual inquiry. The resulting 18 works form a compelling dialogue around environmental stewardship, offering insight into the urgent challenges posed by climate change while also celebrating the resilience of natural systems
Ecological Vessels by Amie Sell (Orientation Theatre)
Amie Sell (she/they) creates art that reminds humans that we are nature and nature is us. Through sculpture, ceramics, and collage they create work that help us to recall the inner wisdom of natural history and the cosmos that lies within all of us. Using a variety of styles and materials, they abstractly and absurdly create art that reveals the power of transformation and interconnection between the physical world and internal emotional landscapes.
Trails of Immersion by Jennifer Sowders (Garden Cafe)
Jennifer’s “Trails of Immersion” began as escapism from the dark days of Covid Lock-downs. Discovering watercolor on Yupo (a synthetic paper); and in parallel, the use of palette knives with thick acrylic paint for the first time, became two very different ways of painting lush and immersive landscapes from all her hiking references.
Singularity is a Forest by Álvaro Alejandro López (Orientation Theatre)
In our different languages, trees are primarily a generic symbol. However, if we look at them closely, we will discover their diversity and uniqueness. This project is an aesthetic approach to the individuality and diversity of trees through their trunks and barks.
FAIRYTALES: A Floral Fantasy by Jane Small (Perennial Playspace)
“Fairy Tales: A Floral Fantasy” is Jane’s artistic take on the alchemy of centuries-old fairy tales and the haunting beauty of flowers from the natural world. The photographic series grew from a childhood memory of her mother creating a magical “Cinderella” doll out of the blooms of the Hollyhock plant. Today, Jane has attempted to recreate that magic by imagining the flowers that she loves in a variety of fairy tale settings. All the photos are taken in a single shot in miniature theatrical sets.
