Gualala Arts Center in Gualala, California
Nature is vulnerable and fragile, yet also unyielding and perdurable. The Dualities exhibit highlights these two extremes in a way that also connects them.
The pieces in this exhibit, while diverse in terms of media, are parallel in purpose. Collectively, this exhibit address both the timelessness and the vulnerability of nature. Both the individual pieces and the paired exhibits have been created with a sentimentality that reveres our forested landscapes and natural resources. The clean lines and natural curves in all of the pieces are strikingly similar, and speak to each other in unexpected ways.
Finally, the artists hope to engage viewers to see the dualities in this exhibit from a third point of view, giving them a personal connection or perspective to the work.
