THERESA CLOWES’ most recent work is driven by curiosity around the data and history of the Colorado River through which she creates abstracted landscapes with ephemeral thread, discarded objects, translucent light and opaque shadows. Her work incorporates ideas about interconnected relationships through both material and concept; a metaphor addressing global warming, our human impact, and the possibility of equilibrium and reciprocity with our environment.

BRYAN LEISTER’ is interested in generative artwork - art that utilizes rules and systems to create complex, layered images that will invite the viewer in for a closer look. Having explored these ideas digitally in augmented and virtual reality, he approaches this series with paint on a surface using sedimentation, evaporation, rendering and mark-making, striving to reveal an environment that seems to emerge from a haze of fluid and stone.

ELAINE COOMBS’ work has recently evolved from a depiction of the idyllic, sunlit landscape to a similarly auspicious interpretation of the sky. Mesmerized by cloud patterns and the colors found at golden hour, she seeks to conjure a peaceful emotional space, as well as interpret a physical one. The reflective, metallic backgrounds in her paintings stand in for sunlight and provide a soothing visual respite to rhythmic palette knife marks, meticulously applied.

Focusing on mapping the natural landscape, HEATHER PATTERSON’s work is a documentation of the topography of our environment. She recreates geographic patterns that she finds, and then layer them to make up a new series of abstracted terrain. The contrast and flow of these overlapping elements reflects her experience in the landscape we live in and the need to preserve our ever-changing climate.

ZELDA ZINN presents images inspired by her Arctic residency, in which the massive scale of the frozen landscape inspired thoughts of geological time versus human time. She will show a variety of images which combine the wild and massive environment overlaid with human handicraft. Domestic patterns hover atop the frozen landscapes. The resulting hybrid photographs combine interior and exterior, exotic and familiar, as a framework for considering the Arctic anew.
