HELD TOGETHER

A story about meeting points. When elements collide, mirror, and interplay. What was singular takes a new form in company. And somehow again, becomes singular. Ropes intertwine, canvas is quilted, threads overlap, and new shapes emerge. Now we see differently. The wave becomes ocean. Was it ever a wave? We experience oneness. Until it all unravels. 

Featuring new work by Ethan Caflisch, Alysha Colangeli, Jess Feury, Annie Millican, Jim Olarte and Emelie Richardson.

ETHAN CAFLISCH

Caflisch is currently living and working in London, England. His diverse studio practice encompasses painting, sculpture, photography, and film work. His works are rooted in material, process and form. It started with ceramics and has since evolved to sculpture, quilted textile paintings, photography and progressively acrylic and oil painting. His practice has been a constant movement forward, introducing new materials to make pieces that still find their foundation in sculpture, but equally exist as painting.

EMELIE RICHARDSON

Emelie Richardson’s handwoven works blur the boundaries of traditional craft and painting. In Emelie’s handwoven paintings, chance and improvisation have become integral elements to the laborious process of weaving, in which fluid line and form cannot be easily controlled. Allowing the materials to play a large role in informing the work, Emelie highlights spontaneous subtle shifts in surface texture and tonality. Emelie currently lives and works in Chimayo, New Mexico.
