Documenting Impermanence: New Drawings by Candace Greenberg-Thompson

Opening First Friday, September 4th from 5:00-8:00pm

The drawings in this collection demonstrate a mind that is still able to be mesmerized. Plant forms that bend and distort behind curtains that catch the breeze, acting as ships' sails- or movie screens, capturing overlapping shadowplays that create moving abstractions. Tonal shifts of such nuanced delicacy that they feel softer than the fabrics they depict. Rich passageways and bridges of heavy darkness that span pools of intense light manage to simultaneously give the sense of deep space, and two dimensional surface. Candace displays her mastery with the pencil and pushes the medium into the deep end of its capability.

We look forward to celebrating this amazing collection of artworks with you!

ASTROLOGICAL EFFIGIES: New Works by Rebecca Adey
Virgo Vixen
cut paper, foam, felt-sewn applique,
vintage frame
2026

Intricately cut paper, masterfully chosen colors, and a stunning sense of drawing, Rebecca’s depiction of Virgo is mesmerizing. Native American folklore suggests the fox is aligned with traits of those under the Virgo sign. Cunning, resourceful, observant, and hardworking- the fox personifies these traits beautifully. Paired with a Morning Glory, notions of introspection, order, and quiet beauty are invoked by their paper thin petals and their long reaching vines and delicate leaves.

See Virgo Vixen as well as the finished sketch where maps out all of her meticulous planning! Astrological Effigies is on view through August 29th, Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday 10-5pm.
